Here is to register the screenshots of the strange behavior I am facing with the Gmail interface.

I posted this message under the Google Apps Help Forum, at: [Clicking on Contacts results in Forbidden Error 403?]

Gmail  > Settings > General > My Picture > Change Picture

When I try this in Firefox, here is what I get:




If I hit back button, for example, wow, even worse: It goes to the inbox (previous page) in modal mode with the embedded popup.


And then, finally, I hit Refresh (F5), and wow... that's what happens (but it reloads the contents after a while):


Since the same behavior can not be reproduced in other browsers, neither in Firefox for simple Gmail account (not Google Apps), first I thought this would be a case of too much Add-ons, so I removed them all, all cleared all my history, cache, etc... and nothing, the problem is still there.

With Google Chrome, the operation works just fine:


With Internet Exploer (beta 8) however, I got surprised with the bugs:

(click in Settings, appear a white "Loading..." info on the top center of the page, which does nothing)



If you click the same link again, the page gets stuck in the loading:


The scripting error describes (sorry, my Internet Exploer is in Japanese):


This is the translation:

Web Web Script Error
UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

Message: The procedure call or argument is invalid.

I wonder if that is something local (my own computer settings problem), or rather a server (meaning Google) issue.



Update:  When I was about to post this in the Google Apps Forum and ask for help, the problem seems that is solved. So, probably a temporary server issue on Google servers. But Internet Exploer still remains with the problem.
