Reporting a minor bug with firefox, broken SSL connexions

[boombastik]

Updated Firefox to version 61.0, no issues.

I gave links that have the problem do u tried them?

I see here...
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1468892#c31
There is someone claiming to be from Avast advising of a potential fix in a couple days time after testing.

If this is so we should be sweet

As a quick side note...interestingly, my mates machine which is basically identical to mine has no issue at all, I wonder why this is

As a workaround in the interim, in about:config, set security.tls.version.max to 3.

Updated to Firefox 61 today, cannot usually get onto Google. When I can access Google, long delay in loading.
Sometimes, when clicking on a bookmarked site, I see that Firefox waits for Google?? and then no connection!
No problems in earlier versions of Firefox.
FYI

Works so far.. thanks!

I hope to release the fix as soon as possible, also considering what has been written before (1 or 2 days).
It would be interesting to know if this fix will be avast side, invisible to the end user, or it will be necessary to update the current version?

I am aware of the workaround, but with all the tests done, still find the word connection failed on sites (still few but very used) that use tls 1.3, the currently most secure version, and having to update the page every time until it detects tls 1.2 is not pleasant.

Thanks for update. I used the fix on one machine so I can access Google, but left the other machine alone to monitor the status.

Should be fixed - see https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=220060.msg1467311#msg1467311

I confirm, problem solved, support tls 1.3, there is no more error

Fixed here, too.

@ boombastik,

No, sorry no issues.  I did miss the two sites you posted tho and did not test them.

[Martin00]

Any idea when that will be fixed?

[Gopher John]

Virus Definitions 180628-8 fixes the TLS 1.3 issue.  You should have it by now.

[Rowan Boatman]

Just test my machine and it now appears to be fixed, thank you very much

Ah, bummer, in the meantime I gave up (too many ssl breakages per day) and uninstalled Avast, switching to Windows Defender.
