Firefox update 31 and opening pfsense GUI
-
My FireFox updated to version 31 today and I am unable to login to any of my Pfsense boxes. I monitor about 7. Anyone else have this issue.
-
there was this thread about it https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=79656.0
Seems the default is marked with CA that new higher security in firefox might bitch about.
I'm not having any issue with ff31, but than again I don't use https to pfsense gui since its local on my network.

I'm not having any issues here. I'm using 2.1.4

FF31 in Xubuntu. No issues. Using https on several boxes.

Had some wierdness yesterday w/FF31 not opening my https:/ pfSense gui's.
Ended up that one of my other FF tabs (I typically have 20-30 open at once) had a Flash process or other such addon locking things up. Once I cleared that, everything was fine.
The odd part was it only affected some of my https sessions, pfSense being one of them. :P

The OP's problem sounds like what I hit:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=79656.msg434471#msg434471It would lock up even in FF safe mode, it would take up one core's worth of CPU per tab with a failing HTTPS request, and it wouldn't stop when I would exit FF, I had to kill the whole process. It's something in the profile's settings but I haven't found what yet. A fresh/clean profile works fine. If none of the other suggestions work, toggle security.use_mozillapkix_verification in about:config and it should let you through.

Used the link and changed security.use_mozillapkix_verification to false and all is working.

Looks like I spoke too soon earlier.
Just hit another pfsense site that wouldn't open with https.
Set security.use_mozillapkix_verification to false and it opened right away… ???

Ok, solved it by resetting the firefox profile… clears all my addons and stuff, but works now.
alt + f, navigate to Help > Troubleshooting Information then click the Reset Firefox button.
Best regards,
