I administer half a dozen servers with (among other things) Webmin. I connect to Webmin via ssh tunnel to port 10000. All of my Webmins run in https mode.

Firefox from version 3.6.6. refuses to load my https://localhost:10000 pages claiming

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Why is this problem NOW? It was working fine (annoying with certificate errors, but working) but now it is not working at all. I must have Google Chrome installed so I can connect to Webin.
