kitchensinks Fix 1 FAIL - Fix 2 follows
see title. Fix 1 only works temporarily (clearing cache and cookies) the Google'n'Gmail bugger has returned.
Looks like we'll 'ave to wait for the professionals to figure out what the abaddon is going on.
Meantime, more people are popping up on the net reporting this problem and I've posted it over on the lavasoft (ad-aware) forums.
here's a reported Fix (only verified by 1 user, the apparent creator of the fix thus far tho) heretountofor known as Karen's Fix-2

Same thing happened to me.
Go to "TOOLS" in Firefox
then "OPTIONS"
then the "CONTENT" tab
then under "LOAD IMAGES", click on 'exceptions'......
in the 'Address Of The Website' space, type ---(I'm using DOT here to signify an actual dot (.) and the word ZERO for the actual numeral)
that's the very address it says the googleDOTcom security certificate is pointing to.....................so type in:
wwwDOTkitchensinksDOTnZEROt
then click the 'BLOCK' button.
It fixed my problem. Apparently Google is using a small image as a cookie tracking device under THAT kitchensinks offensive domain.

Punch ((here)) to follow that thread on the Mozilla forums.
UPDATE: Karen's Fix-2 (as above) doesn't work as is, it's sugged to also block the images (instructions above -Ed) from:

and

and please drop into the Lavasoft forum thread to add your voice, the more people that report it, the more likely it is to get their attention, the sooner it will be solved.
