Using Firefox 3.x I began getting this error message "Can't connect securely
because the SSL protocol has been disabled." a few months ago...I can't get
past it to connect to certain(many) web sites . I've tried the Firefox
support page at
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+cannot+connect+securely+because+
the+SSL+protocol+is+disabled. I also tried the Firefox Ask a Question
support page, which is useless because it is a secure page so my question
won't go through. Yes I know that I can try it with Firefox 5.x or 6.x, but
right now my computer is overloaded with running programs and I don't want
to run another FIrefox which as we know really sucks up the memory.

and none of the solutions helped. I'm not using a firewall except the one
on my router. Firefox 5.x and 6.x don't have this problem. And I used 3.0
for a long time without this problem until this happened. I'm using Windows
2000. Are there some concrete solutions to this problem?

Thanks for any specific help,

John

FF 5 or 6?

FF 5 & 6? Where do you get these?

Try googling your error - plenty of hits, I haven't the time to go
through them for you - someone else may have the answer.

That means that security holes newly discovered aren't fixed for
your system any more. And there are a lot.

You observe strange behaviour? Your machine may well be infected.

When you say "Firefox 5.x and 6.x", I assume you mean 3.5.x and 3.6.x.
Firefox 5 and 6 don't exist (yet).
If you are certain that later versions of Firefox don't have this
problem, then I would suggest you update to the latest version instead
of adding another installation of Firefox.
