Yeah, what's up with Gmail not loading lately (in Firefox). Opening a mail takes ages, and often it's not marked as read when I return later.


You're using firefox which is not supported by google. Please use a google compatible browser such as Google Chrome. Thank you for complying.


We are the goog, lower your firewalls and surrender your tech. We will add your data and project uniqueness to our own. Your projects will dissolve to service our bottom line. Resistance is futile.


Someone here on HN commented that the new Gmail is using some deprecated API that was not implemented in FF and is polyfilled there, which makes the interface very slow.

It also was mentioned that they are working on a refactoring, but alas, it's painful for me too.


Welcome to the modern web!


>what's up with Gmail not loading lately

I just wrote you what's up:

>The product management team was replaced with people [who unfortunately are not qualified to hold their position.] (I imagine)

I also wrote the solution:

>Hey Google: : [terminate] all your GMail product managers because they're [not qualified or able to perform in their current position] and ruining it for everyone. You know you can just [terminate people who are not performing adequately in their position], right?

It's rare that a fix like this is so easy and decisive. So easy. I'm absolutely serious.

I've edited the comment for more neutral language (previously it was colloquial.)
