What level of encryption does Firefox 3.6 use

A government site I use regularly now requires 128-bit encryption. I cannot find the current SSL or TSL encryption levels from Firefox Help

Firefox can use AES-256 since about 2002, so 128 bit encryption is no problem at all.

  • I need at least 128 bit encryption to access secure sites. What level of encryption does Firefox have and how do I check it?

    Many banking sites require you to confirm that you have at least 128 bit encryption on your browser. I allowed a site to check the encryption on my browser (Firefox/Windows) and was told I didn't have at least 128 bit encryption. I'm not the most computer savvy, so I don't know how to check or increase encryption, so if someone could guide me, I'd really appreciate it.

    Right-click on the web page and select '''View Page Info'''. The '''Security''' tab will show the level of encryption being used in "Technical Details" at the bottom of that tab.
    Firefox matches the level of encryption used by any secure website, and will easily do more that 128-bit encryption.

  • What level of encryption does Mac OSX Server use? Is it HIPAA-compliant?

    I'd like to setup a network in my private practice and need it to be HIPAA-compliant. It is needed for filesharing (primarily), but also for calendar/contact services, and VPN (remote access). Does anyone know the level of encryption? Also, would it suit my needs?
    Can computers other than Macs utilize these services?
    Do they need to be running a recent OS?

    There is no such identifiable thing as "HIPAA compliant encryption" AFAIK, there is only what is considered best-practices, and that's an entirely locally-mandated discussion, and it's a moving target particularly with encryption.
    This usually involves a discussion with somebody that specializes in regulatory compliance — the consultant or auditor that Linc Davis mentions would be an example — and what's then selected and approved by your regulatory compliance and lawsuit-avoidance folks (involving your "security official", whoever that may be), and usually what's recommended by an external entity with sufficient insurance coverage that's been formally retained in the organizational "backside covering" or "risk shifting" role.
    Here's a summary of the regulations, and here are (some of) the specific details of the requirements.
    Not running a current version of OS X in this particular context does seem ill-advised, however.  While Best Practices is inherently a moving target, older software versions will not likely be considered Best Practice.   Older versions tend to have errors and older encryption implementations, and these can be fixed or updated or replaced in newer versions, after all.
    I'd tend to assume that FileVault2 or equivalent will be minimal here (particularly for mobile devices and to reduce the risk of data exposure due to wholesale device theft), though the access auditing and related is going to be central to the discussion.   You may well want and will probably need to encrypt specific data, but you're definitely going to need accountability and auditing and access control atop the encryption.
    Linc Davis is correct.  Engage a specialist here.

  • What internet security suites does Firefox work with completely?

    My Kaspersky internet website blocker and advisor won't work with the new Firefox update. This is why I am not updating. What security internet suites does Firefox work completely with. This is a constant problem with Kaspersky which is one of the higher rated security suites available. I don't like paying for security that Firefox disables.

    Toolbars and other applications bundled with anti-virus are usually not helpful in any way. I stay away from all toolbars simply because they are useless and offer no real protection other than annoying me.
    If you <s>ever</s> have Kaspersky or any other anti-virus installed, you will be protected. Every antivirus protects your whole system, not just a certain program. You will be fine.
    As for Firefox and Kasperky's toolbar not existing peacefully, that's a problem on Kaspersky's side. They need to keep up-to-date with Mozilla's roll out schedule. (Firefox 37 will be rolled out in 3 days). Contact Kaspersky for an update on their toolbar.

  • What type of encryption is firefox using for password protection and how trustworthy is it

    I would like to know what kind of encryption FF uses and how I know I can trust it? This is not a bone of contention with FF, I love the product, rather it is just a concern I have that will convince me to let FF manage my financial passwords. Thanks for any assistance with understanding this issue more completely.

    The degree of protection very much depends on how strong your master password is.
    When using a master password, the data is encrypted using [http://www.tropsoft.com/strongenc/des3.html Triple DES Encryption in CBC mode]. This level of encryption is good for general purpose use. The weak point it the master password, if you have a weak master password there are programs available that will be able to crack the master password, they often do this by using a brute force method. If you use a strong master password, the brute force method will need a very long time to crack passwords. For details on password strength and creating strong passwords see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength and http://luxsci.com/blog/security-simplified-the-basesuffix-method-for-memorable-strong-passwords.html

  • What kind of technology does the internal microphone use?

    I am having the same problem with Rosetta Stone voice recorder/analyzer activity. RS told me to wait before going to the next window in the exercise but this did not help. I had the same experience with an older Mac laptop. I will follow up with Apple under warranty.

  • Why does firefox want to use different fonts on mounted hard drives

    On Mac OS 10.6.5 using Firefox 3.6.12 upon opening Firefox, I get a dialog box that says "Firefox want to use the font "TremorlTC TT" on the volume "USB BU".
    This happens for both of my external hard drives. It gives me the options: Show in Finder Don't Allow or Allow. I have tried all 3 and neither solves the problem.

    Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts:
    # Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
    # Open Font Book > Preferences
    # Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
    # Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to Computer
    # Select all User fonts.
    # Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
    # Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts

  • What is the caching mechanism firefox 3.6 uses compared to what IE 6/7 and 8/9 use?

    I just need to know how firefox handles/takes care of/and does its work with cookies and cache, basically its caching mechanism. Also comparing it to IE versions 6/7 and 8/9 would help, for the sake of web development with respect to the two browsers (Detailed technical answer would help). Since web apps may sometimes work on firefox and sometimes not while it works in IE just fine.

    Hi Kellymarr,
    You can take a look at the release notes for each version to see what has been added or fixed:

    Just change the version number in the url to see each major release.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why does Firefox 9.01 use such excessive memory that my a/v program issues a warning? This problem is going to run Firefox users to another browser.

    It makes no sense for so much memory to be used. This has been my favorite browser, but this gives me second thoughts. I see that I'm not the only one. 600+MB just to view my home page? I must close browser to regain memory, but it is sucked right back out in minutes. This is a serious problem when you consider that it will cause people to shy away from Firefox. I would rather see you succeed rather than fall to IE or Chrome.

    600+ MB does sound like a lot, but that depends on what you are using as your homepage, and how much of that 600 is being used by the plugin container - Flash and other plugins. Also, using that amount might have to do with how much RAM you have installed - the more RAM installed and the more Firefox allows itself to use. If you have AVG 2012 installed and the AVG Advsior is giving you that message, see this: <br />

  • While being idle online for a few minutes, why does Firefox start cyclically using 50% to 5% CPU resources, with a 10 to 1, hi to lo ratio

    This behavior became apparent after the last couple of Firefox version updates. Current Firefox version is 21.0. My PC is an IBM ThinkCentre running @ 3.0 Ghz Intel CPU with 1.5 Gigs PC3200 DDR ram. With or without any other Windows apps open, whether I'm on line just idling on my home page (Google) or any other web page or entering / receiving data, several minutes into a session, the MS XP pro SP3 task manager shows Firefox cyclically using 50% (and more) CPU resources for 8-10 seconds then 1-5% CPU resources for 1-2 seconds. Closing & restarting Firefox, allows me a few minutes of speedy surfing. My ISP is AT&T 2nd tier DSL with a download thruput of 300 (+) MB (not Mb) / second (altho, most of the time I'm just viewing a web page or idling, without downloading or uploading any data).
    What has changed? My PC & all of its software have remained the same with the exception of MS security updates, Adobe Reader updates, & Firefox updates (without adding any additional plug ins, add ons, etc., with each update).
    What the...! For the past several minutes that I've been inputting data here, the task manager showed a jump of only 13% cpu usage (ever so briefly) by Firefox & only then when I switched between the task manager & Firefox. Intermittent anomalies are gonna be the death of me...
    Well, this is an annoyance, albeit an intermittent one. Ah, I pine for the days when I heard about & believed in "seamless integration"...any thots that might help resolve this issue sure would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Does Firefox support the use of AdSubtract Pro software?

    Many years ago, I LOVED AdSubtract Pro software, but at the time, I was browsing with Internet Explorer. I'm happily using Firefox now, and I need to know if AdSubtract Pro (v. 2.55 or v. 3.00) is compatible with Firefox before I order and try to install AdSubtract Pro again. Thanks.

    You should be asking does AdSubtract Pro support Firefox.
    The homepage www.adsubtract.com seems to just link to http://store.trendmicro.com/store?Action=DisplayHomePage&SiteID=tmamer&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE now.

  • What kind of usb does the new iPad use?

    Wondering if they bumped it up to USB2 or not.
    Thanks

    Wow, never would I have expected such a quick reply. Thanks, people. But maybe I should be a bit more clear about what I'm asking and why.
    I'm a musician who is involved in recording, making music, and sometimes field recording. I have a first generation iPad. The 30-pin dock, if I understand correctly, supports a USB protocol, USB1, but not USB2. USB 1 is not fast enough to support stereo recording at high bit rates (ie 24bit/44.1 khz). I was wondering if they bumped the spec up to the USB 2 protocol, whoch would allow manufacturers to design recording interfaces to handle the higher bit rates.
    Thanks

  • Does Firefox support the use of HTTPS Everywhere program?

    I have just found out about this program https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere and would like your opinion as to it's use and safety. Does Mozilla support this add on? Happy New Year Thank you

    I have been having problems with FF 28.0 freezing when I try to open a private window. I have to cancel it to get FF to stop. After safe mode restarts, disabling all add-ons etc., I can definitely say the culprit is HTTPS-Everywhere 3.5.

  • Does Firefox for Android use Java?

    Does it use Java? If so, how can Java be disabled or uninstalled?
