On the prevention measures side of things, <a href="http://novemberborn.net/greasemonkey/secure-gmail" rel="nofollow">this script</a> for <a href="http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/" rel="nofollow">Greasemonkey</a> will ensure that all of Firefox's traffic to Gmail is HTTPS. You could always access Gmail via HTTPS by explicitly specifying it in the URL, but for the absent-minded this script makes sure you're talking HTTPS any time you use the service, for the entire session. I'd highly recommend it for any Gmail user who uses public/commercial Wi-Fi networks regularly, not to mention Tor users concerned about anonymity. Wow, that is problematic.
