error code: ssl_error_rx_malformed_alert
I have a reocurring problem that happens at a seemingly random intervall. Sometimes in a timespan of several hours i am banned from all https sites, at a few sites it showes (erros code: ssl_error_rx_malformed_alert). I have searched for the alert but have not yet found a solution. The error goes away after several hours but pops up after a month or so. I would greatly enjoy a solution to this problem.

Hello, this problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
