It could be the way Firefox is handling SSL connections (note the URLs involved are "https://";). There was an issue (can't recall exactly what it was) where Firefox wasn't handling TLS properly due to an openSSL library thing. I'd suggest ensuring you are running the latest Firefox and all of the associated openSSL/gnuTLS libraries. I can't speak to this precisely as I use Chrome most of the time (I've found Firefox's various plugin woes, memory hemorrhaging and orphaned stray processes too annoying to put up with). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
