Firefox unable to load https sites

Firefox

Since Monday I have been unable to load up any secure site (e.g. that starts with "https://....") in Firefox. It says it's loading, but sits there for a few seconds and then comes up with a "Problem loading page" screen. The same sites open fine in IE.

These sites worked fine in FF until this week. I haven't changed any FF settings, I have cleared all cache, done a complete reinstall of FF - all to no avail.

I have no addons, and all plugins are disabled.

I am running Windows 7 Professional.

Help!

PS. There are no firewall / proxy settings blocking HTTPS sites.
