I got this message with the latest Firefox [3.6.2] when trying to access my Gmail account from the main Google page, and also from the Gmail login page, after about 20-30 seconds:

The page isn't redirecting properly
     Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I found that downgrading to Firefox 3.5.8 resolved the issue, so it appears to be related to changes in 3.6.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Firefox 3.6.2.
2.Type in Gmail address [www.gmail.com, or www.google.com and click on Gmail].

Actual Results:  
The page isn't redirecting properly
     Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

  *   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
        cookies

Expected Results:  
My Gmail page should have loaded.

I do have HTTPS enabled for Gmail, but since it works with Firefox 3.5.8 I don't think that is the cause.
