Firefox can't load https SUBdomains websites

Hi, I run FF Quantum on Mac OS 10.10.5. Before the last update I did not notice this problem. Now, it's hell.

I can load all https wordpress websites' admin (login) page) fine EXCEPT if they are subdomains.

For instance, I can load https://domain.com/wp-admin, but I cannot load https.//subdomain.domain.com/wp-admin. It goes in an unending TLS handshake loop and never loads.

If I clear cache and cookies, I get to see the login page but after I enter the credentials (yes, they are the right credentials), I end-up in the same infernal loop and the site never loads.

Yes I have done everything else, and nothing works. No, I don't have a firewall or antivirus or anything else that can explain this.

That is ONLY in Firefox and I don't recall it happening prior to the last update (although I can't be 100% sure about that).

Please help!

Marie

Try to update your OS/wait for next Firefox update.

Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).

I found the problem and solved it. For some reason, the sites were running on PHP 5.4. Updating to 5.6 solved it.
