I have recently set up a new laptop with Slacko 7 - everything seemed to be going well until I came to set up gmail, its giving some details but is missing out others. I enclose an image of what I'm seeing on screen.
Thanks for any help.

Looks like it is time to "bite the bullet" and upgrade your Firefox. That old version (68 something) is not going to be handling
the newer webcomponents that gurgle is forcing down everyone's throat. Depending on which Puppy is in use you might
be able to use one of peebee's chromium releases, something around version 94, 96 or so...I didn't have much luck with
versions after 100, but that could have been my old hardware.

Thanks wiz57,
I think I have downloaded it, how do I extract and get it set up. I'm no tech wizard. I have been using puppy for a long time but it seems to have changed radically recently.
