Firefox TLS Error Reports; what they are and why you might want to share yours.

When a website you visit attempts to secure communication between your computer and the website, Firefox cross-checks this attempt to ensure that the certificate and the method the website is using are actually secure. Some websites try using out-dated (no longer secure) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security ''TLS''] mechanisms in an attempt to secure your connection. Firefox protects you by preventing navigation to such sites if there is a problem in securely establishing a connection. When this happens, you will see an error page with the option to report the error to Mozilla. ;[[Image:report tls error]] {note}If you experience this problem, contact the owners of the website and ask them to update their TLS version to a version that is still current and still secure.{/note}
