I use firefox, and quite recently I've noticed that I've had to double load gmail every time, it lets me input my pass/login then goes blank showing the progress bar *almost* complete, when normally at that next nanosecond your email is displayed but it hangs. I have to highlight the address bar again and hit return and my mail appears. After reading this from Tom, I downloaded and installed chrome..gmail loaded the first time. All things being equal I'd say it's simply a windows burp but who knows...
