Similar problem here, only with Google sites like Gmail, Docs, and Chat (via a[n?] university/Google system).

I don't know that it's the same problem though. It only affects Firefox.  I've tried Debian Buster (with a moved .mozilla directory) on my desktop PC and Debian Buster on a laptop, and at least three Windows computers, two of which are in a different building (one on same VLAN as my desktop & laptop; one on a different VLAN).

It only fails when using a wired Ethernet connection; if I unplug and use wireless, those sites work. But our network folks haven't found an issue (so far - it's summer time, and students are gone, and few-ish folks use Firefox, so we haven't had a whole lot of complaints, forcing the issue).

It's really frustrating, 'cause I don't like using non-Firefox browsers, but I'm having to use Chromium to type this message, 'cause FF has just become unusable for me, when using Google products. As far as I can discern, FF works fine on every other site/product.
