[AuckLUG] Warning : Dont update Firefox

[Ronald Johns]

Please beware if you are about to update Firefox.A bug in the latest 
Mozilla update is causing Firefox to be unable to connect to secure 
websites.What happens is you can get google and all normal sites but the 
minuet you try to log into ,say your internet bank account Firefox will 
bring up a screen saying
"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.

I don't know if this is the case with all distros but it is well 
documented with FC5 and the latest Firefox update.See

Amusingly ,some die-hard "My browser right or wrong" types are denying 
that the problem even exists or ,if it does its all down to Fedora.Not 
so.Quick fix is to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of Firefox 
and all is well.
Quicker fix is to make sure you do not update Mozilla/Firefox till they 
fix this one
