[users@httpd] Https connection intterupted in Mozilla Browsers

[kc...@valdosta.edu]

I have Apache 2.2.2 setup with SSL enabled on a Solaris 10 machine.
Everything appears to work fine, but if you load
https://aurora.valdosta.edu in Firefox (1.5.3), or mozillia, one windows
or solaris, you first get the accept self-signed certs dialogs, but then
you get the firefox standard "Problem loading page": 

The connection was interrupted         

The connection to aurora was interrupted while the page was loading.  
    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again
in a few
          moments.
    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.
    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,
make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Buf it you load the page in IE, it works fine. openssl s_client -connect
localhost:443 outputs

SSL Works!
closed

And correctly shows the contents of index.html "SSL Works!". So my
problem must lie with Mozilla, but I have no idea how.

My logs do not record even a request when the page is loaded in firefox.
IE and the s_client both appear correctly. The only thing in my error
log is:

[Thu Jun 01 16:12:17 2006] [warn] RSA server certificate is a CA
certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)

Which only appears when the server is started.

Thanks

Doesn't work for me in either browser.

As a matter of fact:
telnet aurora.valdosta.edu 443
simply times out. Tried on 2 seperate connections.

Check your firewall?
