I had this problem for months!
I can only solve it by using browsec,

What causing this? and how to solve it completely?

This is clearly a Firefox question although your OS used is still unknown. vndb.org works just fine for me. Have you ever tweaked any of the settings related to TLS/SSL on either the preferences page or about:config?

Google says the following:

The site only works for me if I allow Firefox to fallback to TLS 1.0 or otherwise force TLS 1.0 (i.e. set the maximum to 1.0)

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :

  • In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  • Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  • Change
security.tls.version.fallback-limit = 1

Alternatively, limit the fallback to only vndb.org:

The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain (vndb.org) to this pref. If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces). You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

Hope this helps.

chunk of text

Hope this helps.
@Veho There's nothing wrong with the site in terms of the certificate and the used SHA2 ciphers thus OP should not downgrade his TLS version and sacrifice security just because he no longer has a cipher that matches. Why this happens, no idea, but i suspect some modified pref and/or an old Firefox version.

Try asking in the Ask! part of the forum i'm sure that'll gain more traction
Take a look at internet and web questions!
Which OS and Web Browser do you use?
windows 7, firefox.

he, is your date and time correct on your computer device?
Yes.
Yeah, the solution is for when the version is too recent, not too old :tpi:

I suppose updating the browser is out of the question?

:rofl2:

You can say that!

But like I said, I can solve it by using google chrome! but what annoys me is that the problem even in tor browser!
I guess tor rely on firefox or something, right? if I upgraded firefox, would the problem solve in tor too?

There's your problem. Firefox 12 is four years old (why haven't you upgraded yet?) and doesn't seem to support TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2, hence why it borks on vndb.org which requires a browser that supports TLSv1.2. Also, by using an ancient version you're vulnerable to many vulnerabilities such as Logjam, POODLE and FREAK.
Also, the booleans security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_128_sha and security.ssl3.dhe_dss_aes_256_sha are set to false. Having these (set to) disabled is also very insecure.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
