Nikonites web certificates

I was playing with Firefox today trying to eliminate this damn refresh/delay freeze up thing that is disrupting my experience here. I changed Firefox to run in compatibility mode with Windows 98 and then Windows 2000. That made a good difference for a while but I started getting a message error about my useragent.

Does this mean anything to you John?

When running in "compatibility mode", some of the features of (any) browser get automatically disabled, so that browser acts, partially, in a way an outdated version of that browser would do. It looks that in this particular case a feature called "encription" (Secure socket layer) got somewhat limited and it doesn't like it...

I actually just refreshed the certificates so there shouldn't be a problem with them.

Do you always view the site via https ? Honestly, you don't need to.

Curious as to why you're viewing the site over a secure connection (https)?
I don't think there's anything here that would warrant a need to.

That is another thing I have been working on. My Firefox has been forcing the https: for some reason. I think I fixed that too but not sure now.

There's one reason that I can think of...if you login to this website with the same username/password as another more important site (you shouldn't, but we all know it happens), then your details could be intercepted on this site and used on the other.

Here is the fix from Mozilla:

There are two different settings involved:
Address Bar Autofill
If you have used HTTPS on a site before, Firefox's address bar autofill feature will prefer the HTTPS address. If you don't mind selecting from the drop-down instead, or simply typing the whole address, you can turn off the address bar autofill. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste autofill and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click browser.urlbar.autoFill to toggle it from true to false.
