In the older version I was able to enable it by typing in the URL about:config and then enable ssl2.0 and with newer versions of firefox I can't find the setting anymore. I need ssl2.0 to comunicate with novell boardermanager internet filter server.

Hello Ronttt, ssl2 is no longer supported from firefox 8 and above

see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Introduction_to_SSL#Ciphers_Used_with_SSL

If you really need to use SSL2 then you can install a portable Firefox that still supports this.

You can install a portable Firefox (ESR) version to access websites that do not work with the current Firefox release.
