Gmail Glitching

Gmail is a marvellous invention and previous to the last couple of days I’ve had no problems using it, but over the last day or two I’ve encountered a strange glitch.

Yesterday when trying to read the first message in my inbox, firefox would do its loading thing in the status bar, get to done, and the little loading thingy in the top right corner (the Gmail one) would still be there, and it wouldn’t let me read the mail. Also when clicking on a contact to compose a mail the same would happen.

Another glitch is the fact that it won’t let me send emails. When I click one of my contacts to send them a mail, the above happens. When going the long way round using my full contacts pag, selecting the contact and hitting compose, the same happens. When hitting reply on a mail that I happen to be reading the box comes up but the formatting buttons aren’t displayed and the text box for the body of the reply cannot be selected and typed in

There are a couple of graphical glitches too. My contacts online/offline indicators are displaying the standard placeholder images as are the formatting buttons when I click the reply button on a mail I’m reading.

I have no idea whether this could be a problem on my end or theirs but its beginning to interfere with my work.

If anyone out there has experienced the same problem I’d appreciate them letting me know.

Update: This problem only seems to manifest in Firefox, If I use an IE tab in firefox it works fine.
