Works for me with Firefox 1.0 release and Mozilla 1.8b on WinNT4. 
With Mozilla 1.8b I can (or is default?) disable the "no encryption" for TLS.
See Preferences - Privacy/Security - SSL - Edit Ciphers - Extra SSL3/TLS.

This is a Firefox issue.  Mozilla has the dialog.

Temporary workaround:

1.  type "about:config" into the address bar
2.  find and set the following preferences to "true"
   a.  security.ssl3.rsa_null_md5
   b.  security.ssl3.rsa_null_sha

this doesn't make sense.

[e-mail]: based on a reading of that page, i'm fairly sure they
wanted him to set those to false, not true.

I should have qualified it - the workaround worked for me.  Before that I got
nondeterministic behavior out of the site.  Every time I went I got through a
different number of pages before getting the redirect to the encryption page.

I don't really know anything about the actual config options.  I thought from
the names that setting them to true would disable those encryption options.  If
that is not what they do that I am baffled.

Has this worked for anyone else?

filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
