Lost access to my gmail account after letting avast do a deep clean . Have tried all recovery suggestions with no luck.
I've contacted Google support, they say my account is still open, it's been 2 months now that I've lost access to this account. I've followed all recovery steps to no avail. I was using the Firefox browser when this happened. The email that I've lost access to is the same one that I used to make my Firefox account, but I have no way to verify it's my account.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
