Firefox/Gmail problem *solved*!1

A couple of weeks ago I tried getting into Gmail for the first time via my now-preferred/nonprofit Firefox and kept getting an error message, something like, "We have detected a problem with your Cookies." Since I only go to GD and Lounge, I once again inappropriately asked for tech help here instead of the tech forum. Lounge always has answers. But it was the day of the Benghazi Inquisition and I was too trashed to follow through with the tips from the helpful Loungeteers that day.

Too late for long-story-short but tonight, after messing with the Cookies settings for the umpteenth time, I typed "Firefox gmail" into the Google Search and got this:

********* "1. Tools then Options 2. Privacy then Remove individual cookies 3. I typed "google" in the "search" box and then "remove all cookies" 4. Then, I typed "gmail" in the "search" box and then "remove all cookies" ************

After that, start a new visit to Gmail and ***voila I got in, logged in!1 It's now Bookmarked freshly, and it works!1 Thanks to the always kind DUers who tried to help back then!1
