Google Mail gone crap!

Published by Prajwal Tuladhar under Miscellaneous

I am using Google’s hosted application service Google Apps and I have been quite satisfied with the service. But just now I am witnessing some crapy stuff in GMail. Have a look at the screen shots below:

Google Mail Forbidden 403

Quite amazing! When I navigate through the Contacts link, it shows the 403 Forbidden HTTP status code but when composing mail or doing any other tasks it works as usual. What the hell is happening? Really no idea whatsoever.

Can anybody explain this to me???

Update:

After googling about this issue it seems that other people are/were also having this type of problem. The issue has been addressed by Google here. but not for Contacts and Chat section, rather than for Login section. Certainly, being a computer geek I don’t think my computer has been compromised or affected by malicious programs/virus as mentioned by Google as the primary cause of this problem. So at the end, I tried by clearing all the browser cache and cookies and guess what it still does not work. And as suggested by Google I tried using Firefox and damm it worked fine. 

I am slowly but surely becoming Chrome fan but this issue has surely made me think that I still should not forget Firefox and other browsers.
