For what it's worth, on the mac, Firefox does exactly the same thing but
Safari (the default mac browser) is fine.

What it seems like is Firefox is picking up somewhere it's supposed to be
a secure connection (https) but isn't. And it's not.

Only idea, but it should trip up other browsers, is if they had a cert for
ssl connects and quit using it. Like on webmail.ripco.com, you can just enter
that or with the http:// bit, but once it connects, it does a automatic
redirect to the secure port (https://).

Else it's some feature of Firefox expecting ssl connections anywhere, which
sounds as stupid as something they would try to do. They seem to like to
tinker with it that way, usually backing it off later.
