Greetings, all!

I’m posting here because I cannot post at Google forums. Why?

I changed my password on my Gmail account and somehow the new password did not update at Google Calendar, Google reader, and even on the forums. As luck would have it, the old password doesn’t work either. At least I can still access my mail

Perhaps I have to reinstall the toolbar??? I am running Firefox 3.6.22 because I understand that under the new Firefox 5 I can’t run Google Toolbar.

Many thanks. Ms Julie

Well, the denouement of sorts: all the Google apps linked up just fine under Internet Explorer. So I guess Google and Firefox—even the earlier versions—are suffering a complete divorce.

Apparently Firefox is stuck with some of your old data. Go to Tools / Clear Recent History (Ctrl-Shift-Del is the shortcut) and select Time Range: Everything and check Form & Search History, Cookies, Cache and Active Logins. That should do the trick. You will have to re-enter your password in other websites apart for Google’s.

I meant ...in other websites as well as Google’s.
