Comment (by Illmarinen):

 I encountered this bug and found this Ticket. Decided to try and help
 further diagnose / reproduce it since it has not been touched for a while
 and appears to still be occurring.

 Setup:

 TOR 3.6.2
 TORButton 1.6.6.0
 Firefox 24.6.0

 HTTPEverywhere both Enabled and Disabled.

 NoScript Temporarily Allow (in this order and with page refreshes):

 mail.google.com

 Mail visible -- expected
 Problem message -- expected

 talkgadget.google.com

 Infinite automatic login attempt loop -- color-changing ball
 Problem message -- expected

 apis.google.com

 Login, able to open contact search box, however no further progress
 Problem message -- expected.

 www.gstatic.com
 ssl.gstatic.com
 plus.google.com
 accounts.google.com
 oauth.google.com
 clients5.google.com

 No change.

 clients6.google.com

 Reproduces reported bug.
 Left pane falls back to a login prompt to manually login within few
 seconds.
 Manually logging in indicates success and that the page can be refreshed.
 Refreshing page reproduces reported bug; infinite loop.

 Original message indicates apis.google.com causes the issue, but my order
 narrows it down to clients6.google.com

 I hope this helps.
