Ubuntu: Firefox upgrade breaks Gmail login

Hope this helps someone.  I just upgraded Firefox in Hardy Heron (Ubuntu Linux).  Transition was smooth, except that I could no longer log in to Gmail.  I would try to log in, but it would just send me back to the login page, rather than take me to my Inbox.

The solution: clear your cookies.  Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear Now -> (Just “Cookies”) -> Clear Private Data Now.
