I think I read somewhere that Google Talk does not support offline  
messages. This is atypical of Jabber servers in general... there may  
be some way to detect this but I'm not sure.

Could you do the following?

1) In Terminal, run:

% defaults write Fire JabberProtocolLogging YES

2) Log in to Google Talk in Fire and reproduce one of your problems.

3) Send the contents of the Fire console to fire- 
[email protected], noting that you should remove your  
password from the log since it is sent in the clear within the SSL  
session.

The protocol logging was something I just added when I was  
implementing typing notifications using chat states which is what the  
Google Talk client uses. Note that any information you send to us  
will not be used in any way other than to debug your problem.

Perhaps then we can get to the bottom of your problems.
