Hello,
Am I correct in concluding it is not possible to use the mozilla package
that is currently in stable (M18-3) for conducting secure web
transactions?
Each time I attempt to go to a secure server (https) I receive
a message something like "connection refused".
Being a newbie, I would like to stay away from installing software
without a .deb file. I would also like to stay as strictly pure to
the Debian release as possible.
If my existing conclusion is correct, then it appears I must use
something like Netscape, with the appropriate .deb install pkg, for
connecting to a secure server.

IIRC (I no longer have that version so my menus are different), you can
solve this problem by clicking within Mozilla on the Debug menu, and
then "Install PSM" or somesuch. You may need to be running Mozilla as
root in order to do this.
Then again, I vaguely remember that this took you to the Mozilla site
where you can now no longer download/install the PSM piece because they
want you to download a newer version of Mozilla. I just don't remember
for sure.
