I was just told that the administrator fixed it after he investigated
and tried different things. It now works. I hope it stays that way. :)

Hi!
Recently, http://videosift.com added its secured connections but
Mozilla's Gecko based web browsers (e.g., Firefox v51 and SeaMonkey
v2.46) show errors like this in SeaMonkey web browser:
"Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to videosift.com.
Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).
Error code: <a id="errorCode"
title="SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP">SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP</a>
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity
of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

SM's Page Info's Security tab.
I could reproduce this error in both of my computers (64-bit W7 HPE SP1
OS & 64-bit Linux/Debian Jessie/stable)'s SeaMonkey v2.46 web browsers.
Also, Firefox v51 in my Debian box. I could not reproduce it in W7's
IE11 & Debian's Chrome v50 web browsers that aren't based on Mozilla's
Gecko engine.
I e-mailed the web site owners and got this reply: "The problem seems to
be that your browser doesn't support newer, securer
SSL protocols (TLS v1.1+), as I just disabled SSLv3 which is no longer
deemed secure, and that must be the only protocol your browser supports.
Can you look into updating your browser so it uses modern, secure SSL
protocols? That would be better to keep everyone secure (as opposed to
keeping our SSL insecure just so your browser can use it)."
As you guys know, both Gecko based web browsers are the (lat/new)est
stable versions which I told them. "Can't they be made to also support
modern protocols?" is what they asked. So, I am asking you guys on how
to resolve/fix this security connection issue.
Thank you in advance. :)
