I cannot connect to this website from newer version of Firefox than 3.6. Tried on Linux, OS X and Windows operating systems and other browsers. IE and Safari works fine:

I tried on the latest (nightly) Firefox mobile as well without any success.

First I get the "This Connection is Untrusted" page.

After adding an exception, I get "The connection was reset" and reloading just returns the same message.

Is that what you get?

I get similar results in IE8, both on Windows 7.

Yes. This is exactly what I got. Safari and Firefox 3.6 deliver the site.

Not for me. Firefox 3.6.x gives the same error.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The certificate is only valid for FGT80C3910606976

You must have created an exception in Firefox 3.6.x if it works there.

Don't you see the link to Add an exception at the bottom of the SSL error page?

of course, i added. As i mentoned above the real error is "The connection was reset". why is it ok on Safari?

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

See comment 60 in this bug report for workaround, but be aware that this makes you vulnerable to that BEAST attack.

  • bug 702111 - Servers intolerant to 1/n-1 record splitting. "The connection was reset"
export NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0

Be sure to remove that environment variable after testing to prevent you from being vulnerable to that exploit.
