After the latest Firefox update, I am having trouble using the proxy at my University. Attempts to connect get the "Your connection is not secure" message, and I can't seem to override (the Advanced option to try loading with outdated security does nothing). The error message is:

The owner of (my university library) has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap

Can I change a setting somewhere to force this connection to be allowed?

Hello tecso, any luck if you change (double-click on it, make it 1 > OK > exit firefox and restart it) to 1 the security.tls.version.fallback-limit in about:config ?

thank you

No, sorry, that didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?

What connection settings use other browsers to connect to that proxy?
