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.

(Error code: sec_error_invalid_algorithm)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site. -------- This happens when I upgrade to nss-softokn.3.14.3-9.el6 When I downgrade to 3.14.3-3.el6_4 it's fine. Has anyone else run into this?

Probably http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.5#head-eb6bb9abad0158d05... (first issue on the list).
Maybe this will help, or the Fedora bug listed in above link:

Do it for both rc4 and md5.

Trouble is that it's broken in chrome, too. (This is some chrome-beta from google, which I don't believe they support anymore.)
Also, as it warns that it might break sites that only support RC4. I'm wondering if it's some sort of interaction with something else I have installed, because I'm sure if this was a common issue, there would be a lot of posting about it.
Still, this gives me a clue and I thank you.

I did try two of the solutions shown in the Fedora bug linked https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895513
I tried adding the NSS_HASH_ALG_SUPPORT=+MD5 to /etc/sysconfig/init, and also tried creating the nss.sh in /etc/profile.d which had the same thing--neither worked.
For now, I'll just avoid updating it. As long as it's easy to downgrade, I can continue testing it.

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.
Thanks, that was the solution for me too
