They also added your account name to the loading screen http://cheesemonger32.googlepages.com/Gmail-loading-bar.png |

I just noticed this as well. I wonder if they made any other changes as well or if this was the only thing. It seems like a rather random side item to change on its own. |

i like it.
does gmail seem faster by the way? |

Maybe it's linked to the news saying that they reduced the number of request during the connexion process...

Just noticed this bar. It's super tacky. |

Gmail feels faster, I see the loading screen for at most a second compared to about three seconds previously. |

GMail also feels much haster here? (Firefox 3.0) |
Pierre S | 16 years ago # |
No question mark, sorry. And also seeing that blue bar thing, along with a link to switch to the html version in case of problem |

Hmm, I've just upgraded from Fx 3.0 Beta 5 to RC1, and Gmail is now slower than it was before I upgraded, although apparently still faster than Fx2 according to Mozilla. |

Just saw this. The OP must have either video-screen capture or lightning reflexes – that thing loads quickly.
The last week or so the Gmail wasn't loading AT ALL in Firefox at 2.0.0.15 at work, but now that I see the blue bar it loads and loads FAST. Very fast. |

Well it took a few attempts to get one that was halfway (eg. not empty, not full)
In WinXP SP3 (Firefox 3RC1) I see the loading screen for half a second. In Ubuntu I still have Firefox 3b5 in which it loads slower. |

It feels MUCH faster under my Firefox 3 RC1/ Mac OS 10.5, than it felt with the previous loading screen. |

It's a pretty add. And I notice it works better with the latest versions of firefox too. |

The bar to me seems annoying and the load times seem a bit longer now... not much but 1 or 2 secs add up when you log in 10 times a day! |

bar is a waste of time and makes it look noob and very microsoft shite |

My blue bar just got stuck in an infinite loop, slowly filling up and then going back down to around 30% continuously. I had to kills my Firefox.exe process and relaunch the browser to make it work. Weird. |

Yea that's happening to me too, it's really annoying. In fact, that's why I came to this page, to see if there was any way to fix that. Anybody know of a way? |

increases the load time for me. |
