No problems with either IE or Edge..  What version of FF do you have

Disabling HTTPS scanning helps

Same issue upon upgrade to Win 10. This solution seems to work:
Active Protection | Web Shield | Customize | Exclusions | URLs to exclude: | Add "google.com" | OK

This is an Avast issue with FF v39.0 and Windows 10, access to any secure website is blocked until you turn off HTTPS scanning in
Settings-Active Protection-Web Shield.  Avast needs to fix this quickly.
