How to fix Gmail and Firefox issues

There have been reports of users losing all their Gmail while using Firefox. This is an interesting issue when it comes to webmail and the repercussions of using a centralized service.

It's an unfortunate fact that there isn't a way to backup your Gmail like you can your Yahoo Mail. One has to wonder why people would use a service that didn't offer backup.

Then again, how many of us actually backup on a regular basis?

What I can tell you is that Google did a good job responding to the issue and trying to fix it for the people affected.
