This is a new problem with recent releases (maybe a month or two?). I get a message about a tls handshake failing. This happens on major sites like NY Times, WAPost, among many others.

A page reload always seems to fix the problem, but my guess is that some timer has been set too tight.

I'm not expert enough, it seems like it would open a security hole.

But thanks for the suggestion.
