Google won't let me check my gmail on Firefox...says I don't have cookies enabled.

Firefox says cookies are enabled by default. I went to Firefox > Options> Privacy. It really doesn't even mention cookies. It by default has checked something about not telling sites yes or no on tracking.

I can not find advanced settings to see more about cookies. I have the new version 27.

I am easily able to check my gmail on IE 11.

I cleared my cache, started over my log ins, etc. Still won't let me check my gmail on FF.

Any tips?

I love my new Win 7 computer, but disappointed at having my first browser hijacking.

Yes, that is the part that says FF saves the cookies from sites you visit. madfloridian Feb 2014 #2

I'm on FF 27 and in Options there is a cookies option.

Options, go to Privacy tab, go to History section, then you will see the options you can choose.

Google is telling me my cookies are not enabled. I can check from my other machine just fine, but not from this one. May be a result of the browser hijack, but I don't think so really. I have v27 also.
