“Firefox can’t connect securely to (site name) because the site uses an older, insecure version of the SSL protocol
Error code: ssl_error_ssl2_disabled”
In Firefox the support for SSL v2 (Secure Sockets Layer 2.0) is disabled by default. While most sites have moved to a better encryption protocol, some have not. If you access a site that only supports SSL v2, you will receive the above error in Firefox.

SSL v2 is disabled for a reason. It is a flawed security mechanism, and any information you send to an SSL v2 site could be intercepted by someone else.
Follow these steps:
