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.

More information appended at the end.
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.

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.
