Can not delete mail in gmail with firefox

Frustrating!

There could be several reasons why you're unable to delete emails in Gmail using Firefox. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your browser settings: Ensure that your Firefox browser is up to date and that you're using the latest version. You can check for updates in the Firefox menu (three horizontal lines in the top right corner) > Help > About Firefox.
  2. Disable any extensions: Sometimes, browser extensions can interfere with Gmail's functionality. Try disabling all extensions and then try deleting an email again. If the issue persists, try re-enabling extensions one by one to identify the culprit.
  3. Clear browser cache and cookies: Clearing your browser cache and cookies can resolve issues with Gmail. Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows/Linux) or Command + Shift + Delete (Mac) to open the browser's settings. Select "Clear your recent history" or "Clear browsing data" and choose the options to clear cache, cookies, and site data.
  4. Check your Gmail settings: Ensure that your Gmail account settings are correct. Go to your Gmail settings (gear icon in the top right corner) > General > Account settings. Verify that your account is set up correctly and that you're using the correct login credentials.
  5. Try a different browser: If the issue persists, try accessing Gmail using a different browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. If you can delete emails in another browser, it may indicate a browser-specific issue.
  6. Check for browser-specific issues: Firefox has a known issue with Gmail's delete button not working properly. You can try the following workaround:
    • Open Gmail in Firefox.
    • Click on the email you want to delete.
    • Press the "Delete" key on your keyboard instead of clicking the "Delete" button.
  7. Report the issue to Mozilla: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can report the problem to Mozilla's support team. They may be able to provide additional assistance or fix the issue in a future Firefox update.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and delete emails in Gmail using Firefox!
