SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP Your server apparently doesn't offer any cipher suites necessary to establish a secure https connection that are supported in Firefox. You can check what kind of cipher suites Firefox can make use of by visiting https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

Your System Details shows you are using Firefox 13 Please confirm.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: 26.0.0.131

Your Firefox 13 version likely only supports some old cipher suites and obsolete TLS versions.

You can use the Firefox 45.9.0 esr version on your Mac OS X 10.6 version.
