I also have Firefox 27.0.1. Got a message that my Java needed updating, so being a trusting soul, I did it. Found my home page had changed to Conduit.com, and very few of my usual favorites worked, with messages like 'This website does not support encryption', even from my bank! Then the messages saying my PC was slow etc... I managed to get rid of Conduit.com after several attempts, but then it all came back. Ran Malware, found two trojans, changed settings again, and all is OK now. I tried a Windows update, but nothing showed up there. I use Trend Micro anti-virus.... I have noticed before that it misses viruses/trojans. I have another laptop which is also on Firefox 20.0.1, but running AVG. Found the trojans/viruses straight away. I'm told that Conduit is not a virus, only spyware. A regal PITA in my view. David, check your 'Manage Search Engines', and make sure that Conduit is not on there. Even if it is not being used, you would need to remove this program. HTH Aled L Hughes

While I have used FireFox on IBM-MAIN in the past, I also observed now this same error message: I get 'This website does not supply ownership information.' and 'This website does not support encryption.' I have looked at cache, cookies, firewall, the usual suspects. I will look again at my home and try again. And since Ed Finnell said about JAVA, I have also a look at it. Nothing suspicious there, AFAIK. Other list servs work fine with FireFox 27.0.1 and IE10 and IE8. I must have missed something too.
