Now I am getting the error:

XIVLauncher could not establish a connection to the game servers.

This may be a temporary issue, or a problem with your internet connection. Please try again later.
despite the fact that I am on a wired ethernet connection, and am connecting fine to Firefox.

You can have an impeccably perfect LAN and still get screwed by WAN connections and/or your ISP. (The same also applies in reverse)

You may want to try restarting your computer before anything else.
