Title:
firefox-3.6.2pre from safe-upgrade fails to work in some ssl2 sites
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Hi all,
Today's firefox "safe-upgrade" from aptitude in karmic has caused
problems with firefox accessing ssl2 sites.
Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
* Try to access a ssl2 site, ie vmware-server 2 VI Web console
Error:
------
* The site times out.
I've reproduced the issue with two different vwmare servers; also I've
got a timeout here in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net (though I cannot
confirm that the issue wasn't caused by the server.
Workarround:
------------
* Set security.enable_ssl2;true (as it defaults to false)
This seems to be a known issue with firefox-3.6 either in mozilla [1] and in
vmware [2]
