I can't open gmail in Safari anymore while running Catalina. It just started last night, but I can still open other websites like yahoo, but can't open google or gmail from any search engine. Can. anybody help
MacBook, macOS 10.14
Actually, it was on my wife's MacBook Pro, and that is important because of the solution we discovered. We tried Firefox as well, with the same results. No error messages, just a hung up browser and eventually a message saying that we couldn't find the server. We noticed there was an uninstalled update for an Epsom printer in the system preferences, installed it, and then restarted the machine, and gmail in safari starting working again. So, my follow up question is why would an uninstalled update stop safari from loading gmail? By the way we are traveling and don't have access to this printer which is why she didn't think to download the update.
Thank you for your help and sorry for any inconvenience our oversight may have caused.

You are welcome. I don't have any idea how an uninstalled printer update would stop Gmail from loading. Different.
