** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox
- 
- Not sure how easy to reproduce this but I can provide as much evidence
- as required to help resolve.
+ Binary package hint: linux-generic
+ ===========
+ Suspect missing SYN,ACK packet for HTTPS connections HTTP unaffected
+ ===========
+ Not sure how easy to reproduce on another this but I can provide as much 
evidence as required to help resolve, as this is a persistent problem on my 
machine.
  
  All https sites stopped working in firefox recently.  I get a time out
  message from the browser.
  
  "The connection has timed out
  The server at launchpad.net is taking too long to respond."
  
  Things tried so far.
  1. Tried logging in as another "virgin" user.
  2. Tried using other browsers eg lynx and these are also affected.
  3. Turned off IPv6.
  4.  Reinstalled openssl crypt libraries
  5. I have another older machine also connected through the same router and 
this is not effected.
  6. Compared the straces output when running lynx on the two machines not 
apparent differences other than the time out.
  7. Compared the libraries loaded with both using ldd.  Bad machine is using 
tls but this is easily turned off and has no effect. (with and without evidence 
included below)
  8.  Copied over /etc and checked with xxdiff no obvious differences in the 
files.
  9. Ran a virtual machine on the bad machine and https works there fine.
  
  I'm attaching strace,ldd when using lynx as this is simpler please let me 
know if any more is required.
  NB: 
  BAD== bad machine - snail
  GOOD == good machine - sloth
  
  I cant attach this stuff as launchpad is under too high load right now
  and keeps timing out when I hit submit so they can be found at
  http://burchill.net/brokenhttps.txt
  
  PS: might be worth mentioning ssh in and out on the "bad" machine works
  just fine.
