(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

worksforme, with the same Linux build.

Reporter, do you have a working PSM? What do you see when you go to Tasks ->
Privacy and Security -> Personal Security Manager

I tried to access https://webbanking.tdaccess.com/ using mozilla 0.8 on
Debian/unstable and nothing came up.  I then disabled TLS as per bug 64561, and
was able to access the first page.  (I stopped there, having gotten further than
before.)  So could you try to disable TLS and if that fixes your problem, attach
a comment saying so, so the bug can be marked a duplicate.

I also changed the summary from "Cannot access the site" to "Cannot access the
secure site - looks like the server doesn't support TLS"

Comment 3

Okay, turning TLS off at least got me to the login screen (but I cannot log in,
and that's probably some other bug...).  In any case, shouldn't there be some
informative error message saying that the server doesn't support TLS and suggest
the user to turn it off?  Better yet, is there any reason not to have it
automatically adjust itself?

Actually, Mozilla _does_ automatically adjust itself as far as I can tell. 
However, it seems that some servers have a broken SSL implementation that
interpret this adjustment as a man-in-the-middle attack and drop the connection.
 See bug 59321.
