Since then, I can access the web using Firefox but cannot sign into my email, the sign in button seems to be locked

I can access my email account through Explorer, and from an alternative PC.

From your description that sounds like absolutely nothing happens, nothing moves I'd guess Adblock Plus extension might be blocking something, try disabling ADP at its toolbar icon, if you have the extension.

If you are not saving cookies for google.com you could have problems with cookies which would be the next thing to check out.

If you bring up http://www.google.com do things work, and do you really need to sign in to use Google at all -- just want to make sure it is really the sign-in.
