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

Hi...

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...

i cannot reproduce the problem. just visited a couple of sites an they work. can you provide some links please?

gmail is one of the sites...
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...

It's me again...
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'm thinking but 7168 has to do with this...

It's me again...
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

I'm experiencing a problem that might be related, when I log in on the secured web-portal of my university, everything works at first, but when I try to download a document (always pdf's), firefox can't load it and just sits there with the loading icon. All other sites work fine but that particular web-portal no longer does. Only way to get in again is to reinstall firefox (pacman -U).
I'm not sure if it's the same bug though.

please try -3 again. i reverted the powertop patch, sorry for being a little rash on including it.

I have the same problem with SSL sites when using firefox 2.0.0.3-2. So i downgraded to 2.0.0.3-1 too.
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...

Comete: that's because mirrors cannot update instantly.
Didn't you see Alexander's comment above?
firefox 2.0.0.3-3 was uploaded to Current 11 hours before your comment ;-)

After a first test, the bug I was experiencing seems to be solved with the 2.0.0.3-3 package, thanks.
Comment by XazZ (XazZ) - Friday, 18 May 2007, 15:06 GMT
Yes, it seems to be solved :)
I've tested since 14 pm (CEST) an until now I couldn't find any bugs...
Big thanks for updating it so fast
