[kubuntu4u2 <hjvdmolen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I experience the same problem using Firefox 3.0.14 + Shiretoko FF 3.5.3
on (k)ubuntu 9.04: some sites using SSL cannot be used.

e.g. I cannot download the jdk docs from cds.sun.com site (https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jdk-6u10-docs-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer)
(The status bar reports "waiting for cds.sun.com..." forever)

This problem has troubled me since the introduction of FF3 on the linux platform.
I would have asked for help earlier, but this very page also displays "Saving..." forever when reporting a problem using FF.
And even Konqueror reports the following: 
"Error The following errors were encountered: 400 Bad Request Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at wildcard.launchpad.net Port 443"

I could download the jdk document on the sun site using Konquerer on the
same PC, but not with the Epiphany browser. I was also able to download
it with FF 3.5@Windows XP on another PC.

I tried (unsuccesfully) to solve this problem with:
- a clean install of (k)ubuntu 9.04 (incl. deleted ~/.mozilla) , 
- various proxy setting (No / autom. setting), 
- all cookies + SSL + TSL were / are enabled
- viewing the error console (no errors reported for this site)

This problem baffles me, because I never before have had problems using FF@windows and FF2@linux.
I would appreciate any help.
