Firefox and Gmail
Since 8 December, 2021, I cannot log into any of my 3 Gmail accounts using Firefox and either Google or Duck Duck Go. I get a message that each is temporarily unavailable - repeatedly. I have no add-ons to Firefox; I cleared the cache. I can access all three accounts using Edge and Bing, bringing up Gmail Accounts and then specifying accounts from within that website. I can't remember when the latest Firefox update happened but it wasn't long ago. I have never had trouble accessing my gmail accounts before now.
Chosen solution
I began working through all suggested actions and nothing worked. Today got to "uninstall and re-install". Started to uninstall and was prompted to refresh Firefox. That did the trick. I can now access my gmail accounts. Looking through questions posed, seems there were quite a number of glitches with the update on 8/9 December.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
