Firefox on Dapper fails on https even though mozilla-psm is installed

Hi!

I upgraded my Debian Sarge to Dapper Drake Beta yesterday. I'm fully
aware that this is not a supported process, so I was expecting
trouble. Most things went fine though.

My firefox is causing trouble. It refuses to visit https sites,
instead giving me this error message:

Unexpected response from server Firefox doesn't know how to
communicate with the server.

    *   Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
          installed.

    *   This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the
        server.

This is odd, since mozilla-psm is indeed installed:

dpkg -l firefox mozilla-psm
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ii  mozilla-psm    1.7.12-1.1ubun The Mozilla Internet application suite - Per

I've tried purging (dpkg --purge) firefox, mozilla and mozilla-psm
then reinstalling. Didn't help. I've also tried removing my ~/.mozilla
to see if the problem was profile-related - didn't help.

Mozilla happily visits https sites, so the mozilla-psm library seems
to work at least partially.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Thanks,
