> In my case, the FF client didn't send the initial handshake on TLS at
> all, instead it started with SSLv2. So there was no TLS handshake
> failure. Have confirmed this by analyzing the packet capture(which I
> have enclosed in my earlier email). I have raised this issue(using SSLv2
> format even though SSLv2 is disabled) with firefox-security-dev
> mailing-list, but no reply from them about this behavior.
> Just want to reiterate the point that the following cipher suites seems to cause the server to "Internal error" state.
> When I disable these cipher suites in the FF client, then the web communication on https WORKS WELL even in FF v3.0.1.
