I had been having problems with gmail via firefox on Mac OSX. This all
started at the exact same time I read that gmail was beginning some
renovation or some other work.

2 or 3 days ago, It stopped for me and I have been able to log in and
recieve secure email from gmail.

I think gmail and not firefox is the common source for these problems..
