I would like to add another browser so I can get google email standard, how do I do this?

more options

I am having a problem with my gmail account, I can only load the HTML version and not the standard version. They suggested I upgrade my browser, which I have several times and I have the latest Firefox. But, I still can not load the Standard Version in the Gmail account. Months ago I could, then it just stopped and since then I can not get the Standard Version. So, I thought I would download their browser as a second browser to be used just for Google and I can't down load it. What do I do now?

You really want to use Firefox don't you?

Create a bookmark and you can invoke it by it's keyword shortcut:


name: gmail: (standard) Gmail - Inbox (white) Standard
Location: javascript:void(window.open(location.href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=s"))
Keyword: gmail:
Description: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=s

Your actual problem would be resolved by deleting your Google.com cookies pertaining to gmail. Do not delete all of your cookies.

As far as downloads go, Firefox closes the download window immediately now when the download completes, you can bring the window back up with  :"Ctrl+J".
