Clicking "Compose in GMail" now hangs and errors out.

[GumbyDad]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After the latest upgrade to Ubuntu/FireFox, I get the above error when doing the following:

1. Start on iGoogle page.
2. Click "Compose Mail"
3. Click "Compose in Gmail" on the far upper right link.

Result: Slow progress bar, then the following error page after time out.

This is taking longer than usual. Try reloading the page.
If that doesn't work, you can:

   1. Try using https.
   2. Disable Labs and try again.
   3. If you're on a slow connection, try basic HTML view.
   4. For more troubleshooting tips, visit the help center.
