I have always checked my gmail through my firefox browser, but the other day I signed out of my account and when I tried to sign back in, I couldn't as the link on the gmail sign in page wouldn't work to any of my gmail accounts. I went onto safari, and chrome and did not have this problem. I emailed google, who advised me NOT to use your browser but to download gmail app to my laptop and use it through that instead. Whats going on? Could you please fix this?

In Firefox 54 and below:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  2. Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
  3. Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  4. Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
