sec_error_invalid_key Topic is solved

[eson57]

I get Error: sec_error_invalid_key at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingMimeTypes.
The link works fine with other browsers, like Firefox 52.0 ESR (64-bit).

I run Pale Moon 27.1.2 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon.

I get to the page just fine. Did you make any adjustments in about:config?

Are you using https filtering software? "invalid key" means that the key exchange resulted in an unacceptable security level and was as such refused.
(RSA key exchange with particularly small keys is not allowed -- they should be at least 2048-bits)

Not that I know of! And I've never had this problem on any other site, or this one, before.

None that affects this issue. Reset didn't help. Safe mode also didn't help.

None that affects this issue.

Are you sure?

I checked the website's security and it's perfectly fine - as far as cypher suites and key strengths is concerned they are doing a good job, in fact they are extremely accessible.


It would help to see what preferences have changed and your general operating environment, so please post your Help -> Troubleshooting information here (copy as text)

Yes, as stated, reset didn't help.

Well, there's another thing that don't work. Can't copy at all, at Troubleshooting information. Nothing happens on buttons, so here's manual copy.

Regarding "filtering software": some anti-virus programs (i.e., Avast) filter https traffic. What AV are you using, and are you absolutely sure it's not filtering https?

[Moonchild]

Indeed, none of the listed prefs should cause this behavior, but certainly something is going on that influences your network traffic.

Check if you have any proxies in use (filtering software may set up a system proxy -- see if setting it to "no proxy" helps).

I don't use AV, unless I should clean/check some remote Windows machine. I run Linux.

Anyway, thanks guys for trying to help. I solved this issue by clean reinstall of Pale Moon, and now it works. I have no idea what happened, but issues like this is just to time consuming, so reinstall usually is the fastest way to go! Thanks for your help, again.

Btw, copying Troubleshooting information by buttons, still don't work.

Known issue for builds that don't include the updater (Linux doesn't so would be affected) -- will be solved in the next release, Issue #911

Me too.
I really should take note which board I'm in when replying.
