[Bug 517469] [NEW] firefox-3.6.2pre from safe-upgrade fails to work in some ssl2 sites

[Hilario J. Montoliu (hjmf)]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi all,

Today's firefox "safe-upgrade" from aptitude in karmic has caused
problems with firefox accessing ssl2 sites.

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------

* Try to access a ssl2 site, ie vmware-server 2 VI Web console

Error:
------

* The site times out.

I've reproduced the issue with two different vwmare servers; also I've
got a timeout here in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net (though I cannot
confirm that the issue wasn't caused by the server.

Workarround:
------------

* Set  security.enable_ssl2;true (as it defaults to false)


This seems to be a known issue with firefox-3.6 either in mozilla [1] and in vmware [2]
