As I've seen no mention of this anywhere, I've got to assume it's just me.
Doing some of the CR updates last night, google-chrome and firefox suddenly stopped working with https pages, including google itself. I was able to downgrade, but wasn't sure exactly what had caused the problem.
Tonight, trying again, package by package, it seems that it's nss-softokn that's causing the problem. Has anyone run into something similar? For example, if I upgrade to the CR version, then open chromium and type a search phrase, I'll get message that this web page not available. Firefox is somewhat more informative,
An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com.
security library: invalid algorithm.
I may have solved this. As I was doing CR updates in bits and pieces, I think I installed nss-softokn and didn't install nss-softokn-freebl. Installing both at the same time seems to have fixed the issue.
