Hangouts ssl error

[Eion Robb]

Hi Rodney,

Glad to hear that worked for you :)

Unfortunately it wasn't picked up by Mozilla until it was already released,
as they added in a 'compat mode' flag into Firefox that masked the problem
for them, but broke every other app that uses NSS.

If you're interested, you can read a bit more about the bug at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1672703

Cheers,
Eion
