Hi,
After updating to 1.5.0.7-1.fc5 (on a rather pristine FC5 installation) I got the wildly reported error when trying to access a site over HTTPS:
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.
After much googling, grumbling and yumming, I finally got it working with these updates (I'm not sure if the openssl was necessary):
yum list firefox nss openssl mod_ssl
firefox.i386 1.5.0.7-1.fc5 mod_ssl.i386 1:2.2.2-1.2 nss.i386 3.11.3-0.5.fc5 openssl.i686 0.9.8a-5.3
My question is now, why are these packages not updated by yum as dependencies of firefox? Surely, accessing https sites is a rather common task. Even my mom needs this.
Unfortunately, I've not had the time to check if this has changed in FC6 Test 3.
Regards,
Havard
