Why does <Script> src= no longer work in 37.0.2?
This script runs correctly in IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Slimjet and older versions of Firefox (36.x.x) but does not run on Firefox 37.0.2:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.rapidscansecure.com/siteseal/siteseal.js?code=91,D2F95A1B18FDC85C8B30FF7E58C505FDFF7BE3D7"></script>
Why? What do I have to change or is this a 37.0.2 bug?

That site only supports an outdated, insecure security protocol that won't work in newer browsers. Starting in firefox 37, support for this was removed, and it won't work anymore. Other browsers also plan to remove support for this in the near future.
You should contact the owners of rapidscansecure.com and ask them to upgrade to a more secure version of TLS, as this will eventually stop working in other web browsers as well.

The script tag should work, but I can't load that file if I paste the URL in the location/address bar.
The site uses TLS 1.0, but gives an Secure Connection Failed The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading error, so you will have to contact the website.
I can't load this file in Google Chrome either, so other browsers may be using a version from the cache.
- Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.
Try to paste the URL in the location/address bar of other browsers to see if it works.
I tried to paste " https://www.rapidscansecure.com/siteseal/siteseal.js?code=91,D2F95A1B18FDC85C8B30FF7E58C505FDFF7BE3D7 "
to browsers IE, Chrome & Opera and it failed on all three. I then cleared the cache and all browsing history on all 3 browsers and browsed to our website:
The script ran correctly on all 3 sites. The home page will display the "CompliAssure Secured" icon/link on the lower right hand side of the home page. This will not work on Firefox 37.0.2 but it does work on earlier versions.

Even if I allow the site to fall back to TLS 1.0 then I get a "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." error just like in the Firefox 31 ESR version that I use. Google Chrome doesn't load the script as well for me, so I don't know why/how you can get that icon showing up is that script can't be loaded.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm not a browser expert but usually keep all browsers up-to-date. I will contact "rapidscansecure" and inform them of the security problem.
