The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsLounge got me into Firefox. Lounge fix this.
I've been on Firefox for about three months and don't recall whether or not I've been to Gmail but *do* use Google for searching, but now can't signin to Gmail, get the error message below. Thrashing around a bit in the instructions for Privacy settings I saw (wouldn't be able to find it now) a list of websites (with checkmarks) and google.com was marked for being (accepted?). I was looking for an email that had disappeared from Windows Live Mail and suspected that it was in Trash at Gmail. Eventually I closed out Firefox and opened "Edge" and was able to get into Gmail (and found the email in Trash). Google is my default Search thing.
O.K., Lounge, fix me now. Thanks in advance.

Once there, you can clear your cookies with the link. If you want to see if you have cookies enabled, where it says History Firefox will: you should probably just go with Remember History. If you have a more restrictive policy on cookies which you would get with Custom, you may run into problems.
Alternatively as somebody else noted, if you are running an ad blocker or script blocker, you may need to selectively enable them for that site.
