Hello,

With Firefox 3.6 on XP, I declined 4.0 update a few months ago.

Now :
- I do not receive advertised update since last Thursday
- Manual update check return : "no update found"

I plan to install 7.0 over the 3.6 to solve the problem, but I can do
some checks befor if you want.

That message doesn't affect functionality at all. It's just a warning
that a given web server is vulnerable to a theoretical man-in-the-middle
attack against SSL. (Sadly, this is true of tons of HTTPS sites out
there, I think)

This issue is already tracked here for AUS:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656408
and explained here and here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security:Renegotiation

http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/what_does_error_message_mean

I don't know a lot about the means of attack, but based on
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656408#c3 , it doesn't sound
like this is firedrill-scary. But it's definitely worth fixing.

PC with this issues will be cleaned in two weeks.

Same issues can be tested with portable version of Firefox.
