Like the title says...

I click on firefox link or run it from a keyboard shortcut and when Firefox loads gmail inbox the inbox page just loads automatically to another page which is always the inbox as well.

It did not use to do this until a couple firefox revisions ago.

I don't think there is any built-in feature of Firefox to redirect a home tab after it loads. As long as the initial page loaded is on Google's site, I would assume the second load is a redirect initiated by Google for its own reasons, whatever they are.

Just to better understand the problem: you are expecting Google to show the Gmail login page but instead it shows your Inbox?

Or your last home tab (Google search home page) switches to Gmail so you end up with two Inbox tabs?

Or the second Inbox tab is a completely new tab?

Maybe it's a change in Gmail?

When I try your home page address for Gmail I end up at a different URL: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?pli=1#inbox

Is that the one you're getting?

Hi None of the above, When I startup Firefox, I have the first page going directly to my Inbox. but instead of just going to the inbox once and staying there, the page loads up twice in the same tab. It is as if it is being re-directed or something is being transmitted for no reason. It has only done this for about the last 4-5 revisions of Firefox. Before that it would simply load the Inbox and stay there.

Also when I right click on the "Back" button at the top of the page and look at what it says it has "Inbox - Imi.statue@gmail.com - Gmail", and right below that it says "Inbox" all by itself. If I then click on the Back button's "Inbox" it simply loads the same screen.

This is not that big of a deal but it seemed odd that it started just a while back and has not corrected itself.

I guess I should be asking: Is there any type of malware or other nefarious proggy that could setup Firefox to send email info during the first page load? If not then I don't have anything here to worry about, but it just seems very odd that it does this at all.

Below is the answer to your other question emailed to me: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox - This is what I get in the URL bar.
