FIREFOX 34 WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCESS A SITE I NEED TO. HOW CAN I
GETTING ERROR MESSAGE SSLv3 error. New with installation of FIREFOX 34. Can I be allowed access for this site, if so, how? Or do I need to reinstall Firefox 30?

Hello REEVREDNAV, SSLv3 encrypted connections can be no longer considered secure since an attack vector against them ("POODLE") has become known. Contact the webmaster in charge of the site and urge them to update their encryption to something contemporary. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/10/14/the-poodle-attack-and-the-end-of-ssl-3-0/
If you want to re-enable ssl 3.0 in firefox you can do that - however keep the consequences in mind, that you will become vulnerable to the attack mentioned above: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named security.tls.version.min. double-click it, change its value to 0 and restart the browser.
