On monday, 28th of March 2011 after starting Firefox when tried to go to gmail received warning 'This connection is untrusted' and added this site as exception (i saw this warning too many times last couple days). After that logged in to gmail, chat was not working and button 'more' was not working as well. Also, cannot login to hotmail - see blank page. I went thru gmail support and googled. Cookies cleared, addons uninstalled, refresh pressed, restarted, computer date and time is correct, completely uninstalled Firefox several times, tried versions 3.6.13, 3.6.16 and now the same situation with Firefox 4. Also checked dom.storage.enable which is true. Nothing did help. Anyway, everything working with IE fine, and, sure, everything was perfect week ago.

After some searches found article, that was something changed with sertificates on March 25th. I think it is somehow connected to my problem. Here are the articles: http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/25/microsoft-updates-windows-to-block-fraudulent-digital-certificates/

And maybe this one: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/detecting-certificate-authority-compromises-and-web-browser-collusion

Any workaround very appreciated.

Didnt noticed anomalies with other websites yet.

Also, when I check this post several times a day, I always see warning 'Connection is untrust'. If I close browser and reopen immediately everything is ok.
