When I try to log in to gmail it wants me to create a new account, has my forwarding account (wk@pobox.com) as my gmail account which is wkpobox@gmail.com, so I can no longer use gmail with firefox. I tried deleting cash, even removing firefox & re-installing it, so now have to go back to Win explorer which allows me to log in as usual.

Hi, try deleting ALL references to Gmail. To do that, open the 3-bar menu, choose History (looks like a clock), then click the Show All History link at the bottom of the list to open the Library window. Search for Gmail in the Search History field in the top-right corner, then press Enter. Now in the search results, right-click on Gmail, and select Forget About This Site. (Browsing and download history, cookies, cache, active logins, passwords, saved form data, exceptions for cookies, images and pop-ups for that site will be removed). Give it a minute to complete the deletion, then try the site (not from an old bookmark) again. More - Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox
