since a few days i get the following error whenever i try to open a HTTPS webpage in Firefox 52.0.1 "Fehler: Gesicherte Verbindung fehlgeschlagen" ("error: sucure connetcion failure" or so) and "An error occurred during a connection to www.blah.com. security library: memory allocation failure. Error code: SEC_ERROR_NO_MEMORY". I'm on a machine running Leap 42.2 OpenSuse Linux.
I guess this error occurred first when I had firefox updated from 51.x.
Measures taken so far that did not help:
- Getting back to version 51.X.
- Uninstalling and instaling versions 52.0.1.
- Uninstalling all extensions in firefox.
- Changing security.tls.version.min and security.tls.version.max in about:config
- Checking all entries dealing with "https" in about:config and toggling some.
- deleting files cert8.db and secmod.db
- check if glib-networking library is installed
It may however be the system, not the browser: Chromium as well prevents connection to some few https resources but does not seem to be as strict as firefox.
When the problem apeared for the first time I had played arround with gpg and KGpg, so that might have caused the problem. Deactivating all keys I have on my system did not solve the problem.
I know, firefox as of version 52 handels invalid https certificates in a stricter way, but it cant be that strict. Even www.mozilla.org does not work. There must be some other issues.
A firefox 52.0.1 installation on an other computer I have works okay so it does not seem to be the network.
Does anybody have an idea what might cause this strange behavior.
cheers!
