I not sure whether most of the FF users already upgraded to the Firefox 2 or not. However, the other day, my FF crashed and eventually I went to update it to the later version.
The thing is with Firefox 2 is the security. They are treating SSL 2.0 as weak and deemed unsafe protocol. Therefore, by default Firefox 2 disabled the SSL 2.0 and running SSL 3.0 instead. This caused me difficulties when trying to access webpages that are running under encryption of SSL 2.0. Some of the websites for example maxis.com.my (for the billing system).
In order to solve the issue, I have tried accessing the option pages but left with 2 options either SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0. Not satisfied and eager to solve it, I believe there will be someone throwing the question to mozilla group. Luckily I found out that the solution is on the config page. But which option they have disabled.
security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_40_md5
To enable it from false to true. Go to location, key in about:config to access the page. Then, key in preference as above, and change the boolean. I tried the maxis website later on and successfully logged in.
After all, it shows that FF gives the users more control over the browser. So, we still need to take back the web. :p
Cheers.
