Issues with Gmail and other Google services
I have used Firefox for email, web browsing etc for many years without issue, until about 2 weeks ago. I was using gmail to send an email and a small attachment would not fully upload (locking up at 75%). I looked at gmail help and the recommendation was to flush cookies and cache. I did this and have had problems ever since. GMail: Connecting to gmail is a hit or miss affair - it mostly does not work at all but on rare occasions it does connect. If it does load it is very slow, often I cannot change tabs or access labels. I cannot switch inboxes to other accounts. I mostly cannot send emails (though very occasionally I can). When trying to switch accounts it mostly just says something went wrong but once or twice it has brought up the list of accounts but I cannot select one. I can rarely send an email - it is very slow, it says working but mostly nothing happens. Sometimes an Oops 01 error message appears. I have not been able to attach a file to any email I have tried to send. I am seem to be receiving emails without issue. [Gmail mostly works on Chrome but sometimes I have trouble sending].
Google Search: When I use Google as a search engine I often get only a white screen but it will sometimes bring up a screen of search results however when I click on the link either nothing happens or it is really slow to load the page - once the page loads navigating around the site is normal.
I have no issues when using Duck Duck Go or if I type the address into the address bar or it is a book marked site.
YouTube: I can rarely connect to Youtube using Firefox - it mostly just sits at a white screen with the address in the address bar but nothing happening. If it does connect it is incredibly slow at searching or changing screens. I often get a message saying I am not connected to the internet but I am because I have other things open and operating.
Google docs: I cannot access google docs using Firefox but can using Chrome.
I have no issues with online gaming or streaming sites. It seems to be only google related services that are giving me grief.

Google docs and apps are best accessed using Chrome as that is made to work with Google docs and app. There is no way around this for Firefox since those services are Google.
I don't understand. I have used gmail, youtube, google search and google docs with Firefox for many years without problem, up until about 2 weeks ago. Something has changed or got corrupted and I need help to try and identify what.
Like mentioned those are Google products and they can change and update how it works and if it doesn't work with another Browser your choices are limited to Chrome to connect to services. Firefox can't change that fact those are Google products and made to run with Chrome for the most part.
Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
