To add some more information:

Vidalia + NoScript does not present any cookie issues.  I can access 
Account Settings.  The problem is when TorButton is used.

I then used TorButton's preferences to remove all the protections by 
unticking as much as possible (effectively making TorButton worthless).  I 
still get the same error!

I rebooted and cleaned the cache and cookies and still I cannot access the 
Account Settings aspect of Gmail.  It is as if TorButton per se is the 
issue irrespective of any security settings it uses.

In my Firefox cookie section I have cookies for mail.google.com that read: 
GX, GXSP, gmailchat, TZ, GMAIL_AT, and S.

Yet Gmail still claims that cookies are not installed.

I did an about:cache and then searched for torbutton.  There were about 100 
entries which include:

extensions.torbutton.regen_google_cookies;false
extensions.torbutton.reset_google_cookies;false
extensions.torbutton.xfer_google_cookies;true

I did change regen_google cookies to true but this did not change 
anything.  Perhaps one needs to change certain entries in about:config to 
affect TorButton's interactions with Gmail?

Any ideas from TorButton developers?  Thanks.
