The SSA page to file for benefits will not open with Mozilla or Firebird. They
say the page requires strong encryption which is not supported by the browser.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to ssa.gov and goe to file on line for benefits
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Routed to http://s00dace.ssa.gov/pro/403/forbidden.html

Expected Results:  
Begin benefits filing process. They recommend using IE or Netscape which support
the level of encryption
Looks to me like it's a bad browser detection script on the server side. In that
case it would be a Tech Evangelism bug.
