Long story short, go into Firefox config by browsing to about:config (click yes to the prompts), then search for security.tls.enable_0rtt_data, which will be set as TRUE. Set it to false using the ying-yang looking icon to the right, and then close/reopen Firefox. Gmail and other Google sites should now work as expected.
