firefox 2.0.0.3-2 has problems loading websites that use
SSL. I downgraded to 2.0.0.3-1 and all sites worked
properly. I tried disabling all add-ons and creating a new
profile, neither helped. I tried a multitude of sites as
well including internal sites and gmail.com. All would fail.

This task depends upon
I've also noticed problems with firefox and ssl sites..
I got apache running on my box here... and I've enabled ssl there...
I've tested some ssl-sites with swiftfox (you can get it from aur)... and they worked like a charm...
Another is my localhost
ebay also didn't let me in (I tried it a few times, after a while it worked again)
gmail hangs at a white site and ebay shows a white page too...
Today I got the same problem as yesterday... - ssl-sites won't load..
I've made a screenshot to show what I mean...
Site nr. 1 is ebay... it tries to load and load and so on...
Site nr. 2 and 3 are from awstats - running at my apache...
As you can see the URL without ssl-encryption works, but the ssl-encrypted one doesn't
I've made a second screenshot...
It shows the browser links...
In links are all ssl-encrypted URLs working..
I hope this helped..

I looked at this bug-report http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7168 (as jason2 said...)
I've modified the patch as suggested in that bug report...
Now it seems that everything is working fine (I could only test ~1 hour... - but I couldn't find any problem yet)
I've attached the PKGBUILD and all necessary files... - You can create you own package from this with makepkg
XazZ
I'm not sure if it's the same bug though.
But one question: Why firefox 2.0.0.3-2 package is still in current ??? Are you waiting for the next release to correct the bug ?
What's the problem with Arch Linux actually ? it seems that the packages are going more and more unstable... I can't use this system in production anymore, to o much bad surprises... wake up guys ! or you will loose your users...
Didn't you see Alexander's comment above?
firefox 2.0.0.3-3 was uploaded to Current 11 hours before your comment ;-)
