>> Hello people,
>> I'm using Squid and Squid3 on Ubuntu 10 LTS servers, they have problems with Firefox (recent version).
>>
>> Now I think the problems are with the way Firefox forces standard SSL3 now, since it worked with Firefox 2-3 versions earlier, and in 1 version earlier of Firefox, I could set "use ssl2" in about:config in Firefox, and it would still work, but now it gives error:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Secure Connection Failed
>>
>>
>> An error occurred during a connection to twitter.com.
>>
>> SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
>>
>> (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
>>
>>
>>
>> It is worth mentioning that this error does not happen on all HTTPS websites, a few work fine. Facebook and Twitter are known to not work fine with it.
>> I'd appreciate any help as a huge number of users are waiting for a fix and are using Google Chrome now instead.
>>
>> -Abbas
