Nope. Without more information it's difficult guessing why this happened, too.

In addition to installing the new add-on, did you modify Tor Browser in other
ways? Which add-on did you use for exporting/importing the cookies? It sounds
like "importing" the cookies for mail.google.com failed for some
reason. Did you try
clearing the cookies in Firefox and import them there? And was that successful?
