Today when accessing gmail, gmap and google related sites, I suddenly got error (this never happened before), Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to mail.google.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

This happens only when accessing google from Firefox. With other browsers, no such problem occurs. So this is a site and browser specific problem. I tried everything I know to fix this problem, including clear cache & cookie, remove cer8 database file, reset Firefox, change to no proxy, etc. But all failed. I need help on this. What's hell going on?
