I have had similar problems with Gmail in Firefox on Windows. A work-around for what I've been experiencing is to add an 's' back into the url after it stalls and reload the page. It then stays 'https' for the rest of the session and loads fine. I just bookmarked my inbox with the secure address and I can go straight there. It seems like IE rolls over that transition without a hitch. There are other, minor bugs while using Firefox, but Gmail is still a great alternative and getting better. I have been using it more and more, even though Hotmail gave me 250Mb a couple of months ago. Anywho...hope that helps.

Nuclear winter! When things get too hot, pop the top, sit back and enjoy the snow.
