Nils, I mentioned this to a computer shop owner a few days ago and he 
suggested it had to do with an increase in security levels. He had given 
new codes for his web site some days earlier and when I read the message 
to him over the phone his opinion was that the message was  associated 
with that increased security.

It sounded right also, because one of the blocks I've encountered was 
Telstra - never had a problem in the past.  Another was Paypal, I've 
never has any issues with PayPal but several days ago I was blocked from 
going to the PayPal site.

But you are right, it definitely is a FireFox message. It's FF telling 
me it cannot connect. I concluded FF really did need new security codes.
The computer shop fellow suggested reinstall the latest FFox. No time 
for that at present.
