The Great Firefox/Gmail Contretemps Resolved

I don't know what the problem was, but I noticed that when I started Gmail in Firefox, it appeared to be cycling through a series of gmail URLs with random letters attached at the end. More than anything, it liked Firefox was trying to "remember" my login and password and failing. Thus, I went in and deleted all gmail and google cookies, and closed down Firefox. Upon reopening, it loaded Gmail without problems. If that's the level of trouble Firefox will give me, I'll take it. I still prefer it to IE.
