I get this message: Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ

or other similar messages. This is a relatively new problem.

This happens when I open multiple web pages all at the same time (open all bookmarks withing a folder). Some open, some get the message. Seems kind of random as to which is which.

Re-reading the rejected page always clears up the problem. Opening any individually is never a problem.

These are mostly major news sites - NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Wash. Post,, etc.... About a dozen.

I presume this is some type of timing issue, based on a number of pages all being opened at the same time. Is there a timer I can loosen up a bit?? thx,

MH

Are you using a proxy or VPN ?

You can check the connection settings.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":

Are you using a proxy or VPN ?\ NOPE - just plain vanilla.

Just to respond to your suggestions - ALL of the web pages will load, just not the first time. And this happens when I load a bunch of pages at once, leading me to think there is a timing window that is being exceeded - but that's just a guess.

thx for help....

From Mozilla:

"SSL received a record with an incorrect Message Authentication Code."

This usually indicates that the client and server have failed to come to agreement on the set of keys used to encrypt the application data and to check message integrity. If this occurs frequently on a server, an active attack (such as the "million question" attack) may be underway against the server.

Another suggestion is to make sure the clock and timezone on the client and the server are correct. Maybe try synching to a time server.
