Thanks for your bug report Can you establish an encrypted connection with another browser or is it limited to firefox ?
from http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/5c03de873113d39b : "error code -12194 indicates that the server to which you connected send you an SSL "Access Denied" error alert. Normally that message is only sent by SSL servers that request your client to authenticate itself with a certificate, and then reject that certificate. That error alert means "Peer received a valid certificate, but access was denied." But you report that you're seeing it on all https servers, and the vast majority of SSL servers never request client authentication. So, I think the most likely explanation is that you've got some proxy server or proxy software that is intentionally interfering with all your https connections. There are so-called firewall products out there, and so called anonymous browsing products, and so-called advertising blockers that intentionally block all https traffic because they can't snoop on it and so they think they're protecting your security by disallowing all connections on which they cannot snoop. In my opinion, all such software should be completely expunged from your system.. So, check and see if your browser has become configured to use a proxy, and if so, try disabling that. Second, if you're using some third party firewall product, or some so-called anonymous browsing software, try disabling that and see if the problem goes away. (I predict it will.) If it does, you know what software is REALLY at fault.
