If you are viewing your email via Firefox before you trying to download, they are probably being marked as read on the server. If so you would need to re-mark them as "unread" in order for TB to download them. You will need to also check your Gmail server settings in TB and enable download new messages and get messages at start-up if these are not already enabled.
