A fairly common error message on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, which can appear when we want to access certain web pages (login.yahoo.com, for example):

Mozilla Firefox error:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to login.yahoo.com (exemplu).

Can’t connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.

(Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)

The error on Internet Explorer:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
•Internet connectivity has been lost.
•The website is temporarily unavailable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website’s domain.
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

In most cases this error occurs when we want to access a Web page HTTPS who request Connection on a encrypted protocol Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Secure Connection Failed in Mozilla Firefox. Causes and solutions.

1. The first cause is to deactivate protocols by mistake SSL 3.0 and/or TLS 1.0. The disabling can be done by the user or an anti-virus software that sees in deactivating these protocols a measure of users protection. To check if these protocols SSL 3.0 and/or TLS 1.0 are activated on Firefox, go to the menu “Tools” > “Options” > “Advanced” > “Encryption” and assured that They are checked the two protocols. Use SSL 3.0 and use TLS 1.0.

2. If you have SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 activated but you can still not access the HTTPS web pages from Mozilla Firefox, check that you will not set the browser out of the Internet proxy.
You can check this by going to the menu “Tools” > “Options” > “Advanced” > “Network” > Click on the button “Settings“.
In the default configuration is set “Use proxy system settings“. check “No proxy” And press OK to save the changes.

After following this step, try again to access the https web address.

3. Another cause of the error “Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled” On Mozilla Firefox or on Internet Explorer may be the installation and setting of a software firewall which does not allow SSL / https connections. In this situation you will need to enter the Firewall software settings and see what Internet connection rules are set for SSL / TLS / https.

Solving Error accessing HTTPS web pages with Internet Explorer.

On the Internet Explorer if you click on “More information” in page “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”, you will see that at the last point you will explain exactly what you have to do:

If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

After ticking the SSL and TLS boxes click Apply & Ok, then restart the Internet Explorer.

Hi! I also have a problem with the mail. :) I can't open it. It gives me an error, when I try to get on the page. (ssl_error_ssl_disabled) What should be done? I tried to download the SSL certificates, and I couldn't. He gave me the same error. And I don't give $ 125 or $ 250 on them: I don't know what to do. Can you help me?

That money says Livia have nothing to do with solving the problem. SSL certificates are optional for Private servers, and they can only be useful for domain / web administrators servers of some companies / companies. Price For an SSL / Internet Domain Certificate may vary between $ 10 / year (for PositiveSSL) and $ 1,300 (for Secure Site Pro with EV).
