Well, here it's just happened again: GMail session logged out (not by
me this time!), account name ("one account. All of Google") - 1 screen ,
password input - second screen, error message at
https://accounts.google.com/signin/rejected?hl=en-GB&rrk=47&rhlk=js
"Couldn't sign you in
"The browser that you're using doesn't support JavaScript, or has
JavaScript turned off."
I tried enabling Netsurf's JavaScript, in case it was just doing a
stupid-level check, but the page is absolutely stiff with JS:
if (AF_initDataInitializeCallback)
{AF_initDataInitializeCallback(AF_initDataKeys, AF_initDataChunkQueue,
AF_dataServiceRequests);}if (!AF_initDataCallback) {AF_initDataCallback
= function(chunk) {AF_initDataChunkQueue.push(chunk);} etc etc
I managed to restore access by copying across the Cookies file from the
other computer again, but that cookie will presumably eventually expire
too. :-(
