 |
|
Hi there, after half an hour, i've just discovered why my gmail wouldn't let me sign on through firefox. It seems that privoxy was blocking something out (from the default configs as it was installed)... and i was getting stuck on the "Loading....." page. Viewing the source said i have no JavaScript enabled, which i did.
Anyway, it's a quick and easy fix
| Code: |
echo "+gmail.google.com" >> /etc/privoxy/trust

I have got gmail working in Mozilla Firefox after making the following changes in privoxy. Edit the file /etc/privoxy/user.action such that you do not prevent compression for gmail or crunch it's cookies. You can restrict the cookies to session-only. Here is the relevant section from my user.action file:
| Code: | {-crunch-incoming-cookies \
-crunch-outgoing-cookies \
-prevent-compression \
+session-cookies-only \
}
gmail.google.com |
Apparently, gmail uses compression to either allow faster loading OR perhaps avoid content filters. Who knows? But if privoxy is set up to block compressed sites (as it apparently is, by default), then privoxy will intercept the compressed pages and thus break sites like gmail.
Hope this helps!

the 2 tricks above didnt work for me
when typing gmail.google.fr i get "Lodading ...." for an infinity time
the page src
| Code: |
<html><head><title>Gmail</title><link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Gmail Atom Feed" href="https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom" /><script src="/gmail?view=page&name=browser&ver=6a796cba3b98783d"></script></head><noscript><font face=arial>JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then <a href="/gmail">try again</a>. <p>To use Gmail's basic HTML view, which does not require JavaScript, <a href="/gmail?ui=html&zy=n">click here</a>.</p></font></noscript><script>
<!--
var fs_time = (new Date()).getTime();function wfs() {if (top.location.href.indexOf('nocheckbrowser') != -1) {return true;}if (!is_browser_supported) {top.location = '/gmail?ui=html&zy=j';return false;}var testcookie = 'jscookietest=valid';document.cookie = testcookie;if (document.cookie.indexOf(testcookie) == -1) {top.location = '/gmail/html/nocookies.html';return false;}document.cookie = testcookie + ';expires=' + new Date(0).toGMTString();var agt = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();if (agt.indexOf('msie')!= -1 && document.all) {eval("var control = (agt.indexOf('msie 5') != -1) ? 'Microsoft.XMLHTTP' : 'Msxml2.XMLHTTP';try {new ActiveXObject(control);} catch (e) {top.location = '/gmail/html/noactivex.html';}");}return true;}if (wfs()) {document.write("<frameset rows=\"100%,*\" border=0><frame name=main src=/gmail/html/loading.html frameborder=0 noresize scrolling=no><frame name=js src=/gmail?view=page&name=js&ver=d349ff8be4c91608 frameborder=0 noresize></frameset>");}
//-->
</script></html>
