It turns out the problem is SSL. I went back a few weeks in the
newsgroups and found some posts that gave this fix...
>From the "Debug" menu select "Install PSM" which is the Personal
Security Manager. This should solve the problem for a Windows machine
(I'd imagine) except that I can't imagine MS6 has a "Debug" Menu since
its a commercial product. Try looking for the PSM somewhere else I suppose.
I say "this should solve the problem" because it only half-worked for
me. I decided to install PSM as root (this is Linux afterall), but I
can only access secure sites when logged in as root now. This doesn't
seem right. The PSM install fails from a non-root user. When logged in
as a regular user on the system, accessing a secure server does not
result in the "Connection Refused" message, but rather a more ambiguous
freeze of Mozilla. What the problem is I'd be interested to know.
Has anyone else run into this PSM problem? Any suggestions of how to
solve this?
Thanks for any help.
