Multiple TLS implementations contain a vulnerability when renegotiating a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack. Proof-of-concept code that exploits this vulnerability is publicly available. Mozilla and Oracle, in addition to other vendors, have released updates for this vulnerability. http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/CRR_mar29-apr4.html
Will FireFox browser updates address this security problem???

That message is meant for webmasters to make them aware that they need to fix their servers. Firefox 3.6 versions can detect such a misconfiguration and displays a warning in the "Tools > Error Console".
Thanks cor-el, I sent your answer on to the Webmaster.
I.E. still allows the negotiation of the (TLS) session and I mistook it to mean Firefox had fallen behind and was being refused access by the site.
You're saying because the Browser can detect such a misconfiguration that it won't accept the security risk of a misconfiguration at the site?
I appreciate your reply and explanation!! Bill Rogers
