edgy: firefox/epiphany ssl issues

[Justin Kelly]

Thanks Constantine

tried your suggestions but it didnt work,

so i re-enabled the dapper repo uninstalled firefox/epiphany and then
installed the dapper versions of both

not the best option - was looking forward to using firefox 'bon echo'
but at least i can use the internet now :)

thanks for you help

cheers
