Can you please try the .xpi from this bug:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/2377#comment:3 and let
me know if it behaves ok for Google logins now? It may need a few
tries, iirc, this bug is random.

Be sure to go back in to about:config and reset
extensions.torbutton.xfer_google_cookies back to *true* before running
your tests.

 Try changing this last setting
 (extensions.torbutton.xfer_google_cookies) to false. It is designed to
 try to move your google cookies from one domain to another to avoid
 requiring you to solve captchas for every google country domain.

 It could be breaking something in the signon process, especially if
 you get redirected to/from a country domain during login (by using a
 german exit, for example).


Thanks Mark - this works for me.

Is there a way that this modification could be mentioned in the
documentation?  From what you are saying it would be best to keep the

 I wonder if any kind soul can help.  My understanding is that this 
conflict between aspects of Gmail and Torbutton is hardly unique to me.

To add some more information:

Vidalia + NoScript does not present any cookie issues.  I can access 
Account Settings.  The problem is when TorButton is used.


I then used TorButton's preferences to remove all the protections by 
unticking as much as possible (effectively making TorButton worthless).  
I still get the same error!


I rebooted and cleaned the cache and cookies and still I cannot access 
the Account Settings aspect of Gmail.  It is as if TorButton per se is 
the issue irrespective of any security settings it uses.


In my Firefox cookie section I have cookies for mail.google.com that 
read: GX, GXSP, gmailchat, TZ, GMAIL_AT, and S.


Yet Gmail still claims that cookies are not installed.

I did an about:cache and then searched for torbutton.  There were about 
100 entries which include:


extensions.torbutton.regen_google_cookies;false
extensions.torbutton.reset_google_cookies;false
extensions.torbutton.xfer_google_cookies;true

I did change regen_google cookies to true but this did not change 
anything.  Perhaps one needs to change certain entries in about:config to 
affect TorButton's interactions with Gmail?


Any ideas from TorButton developers?  Thanks.

I get this message wheneve i login to google. After the message appears, i
just manually type in "gmail.com" and then most of the time it logs in. When
all else fails, i manually delete all google cookies, and then it works
fine.

"Cookie Mismatch" when using Gmail.

 Hello,

Here is what happens:

I login to Gmail as normal.  I go to Settings / Accounts and Import / 
Change Account Settings - Google Account Settings.  When I click on that 
link the URL changes to https://www.google.com/accounts/CookieMismatch and 
the screen shows.

I am using TorButton and NoScript and Gmail and Gstatic are considered 
"trusted".  JS is on.  Cookies are on.  I can see them in Firefox Privacy 
settings.  I have deleted the cache, deleted cookies, rebooted Firefox, 
etc, but I cannot enter the Google Account Settings link.  All other parts 
of Gmail work fine.


Without using the Vidalia bundle I can login to the Account Settings with 
no problems.


Does someone know how to deal with this cookie issue?

Thanks.
