Starting in Firefox 34, Secure Sockets Layer version 3.0 (SSLv3) is blocked by default because it is no longer secure (for details, see this blog post).
Warning! Your version of Firefox uses Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSLv3) which is no longer safe (for details, see this blog post). To stay safe online and protect your information you should update Firefox to the latest version.

Websites that use the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) such as banking sites and online stores will have "https" at the start of their address. If Firefox can't access a secure site, it will show an error page saying:

An error occurred during a connection to (site name). Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled. (Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)

Security software

To use SSL protocol, Firefox needs to make a connection to itself. Some security software can block this connection. For information on how to configure security software to allow Firefox the access it needs, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

Problem with a specific site

You can test your browser for SSL functionality. If your browser passes the test, the problem may be specific to the site you're trying to access.
