Description fedora 2022-01-21 16:37:41 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying to access www.shellenergy.co.uk results in the error ...

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to shellenergy.co.uk. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

95.0.2 (64 bit) Mozilla Firefox for Fedora fedora - 1.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try accessing www.shellenergy.co.uk (or webmail.plus.net)
2.
3.

Actual results:

No pages displayed, just the error (above)

Expected results:

I would expect to get the page displayed.

Additional info:

The official version of Mozilla Firefox 96.0.2 (downloaded direct from mozilla.org) does not fail.

As an aside, there appears to be several differences between the Fedora and official Mozilla versions - like where the history and passwords are saved. Not entirely sure why this "Fedora" version exists.

> webmail.plus.net

Works fine for me. Maybe that was their fault and they fixed the site already.

> https://www.shellenergy.co.uk/

I can confirm that this website does not load with the same error code that you have seen (tested with Firefox 98.0). I can confirm that the error code is nonsense because there are ciphers overlapping between Firefox' ciphers and the ones provided by that website:
* Test your Firefox ciphers: https://clienttest.ssllabs.com:8443/ssltest/viewMyClient.html
* ciphers of that website: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.shellenergy.co.uk&s=34.242.82.39

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2022-05-12 15:26:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2022-06-07 21:52:00 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
