This is not always true when using Tor with Gmail, even when you
initiate the session with https://mail.google.com ! I and several
others have posted on the web regarding this, especially when exit
nodes change and the session during logout is often forced in another
language to http from https during logout, what happens to the cookies
then? What of broken connections during use which crop up from time to
time? These and other strange events make me and others question using
Gmail with a web browser in Tor.


There's a plugin to firefox that do just that, ensures that the connection is always https.

It's name is CustomizeGoogle. This and much more.
