Configuring Firefox

When using HTTPS to access eBackup in Firefox, you are prompted with a security certificate problem. This section explains how to configure Firefox to prevent the problem. Before using Firefox to access eBackup, ensure that Firefox does not support SSL 3.0.

Context

This section uses Mozilla FireFox 26 as an example.

Procedure

  1. If This Connection is Untrusted is displayed, choose I Understand the Risks > Add Exception.
  2. Click Confirm Security Exception in the dialog box.
  3. Disable Firefox's support for SSL 3.0.

    SSL 3.0 may cause device information leakage. It is recommended that you disable SSL 3.0 on the browser as follows before logging in to eBackup.

    1. In the address box of Firefox, enter about:config.
    2. Set the value of security.tls.version.min to 1.
