Re: Cookie Mismatch when using Gmail.
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.

Learn more http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=39612 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.
