Firefox 3 does not allow port 10000 (iy only alows port 80),
In my opinion a good security measure but in some cases like webmin you will need to enable the port

in ff3 type about:config (here be dragons),
add network.security.ports.banned.override with the values comma seperated eg 10000,10001 (webmin/usermin)

I’d reccomend changing the port first in ie then ebabling the correct ports in ff3 so you don’t have to change it twice.

Try turning off HTTP pipelining and see if that helps.

I have several FreeBSD and Ubuntu boxes running Webmin on various ports and haven’t had any problems with several different people accessing them all using Firefox 3b5.

I take it you’ve done the usual thing of creating a fresh profile and trying it. Reason is that my ‘dirty’ profile (from testing various alphas, betas and nightlies of Fx3) wouldn’t recognise EV certificates in Beta 5, until I refreshed it by deleting a number of the files.

i have no problems accessing a self-signed certificate on port 10000 (using iis5).
