I used to use the following ssh command to set up a socks5 proxy to
use with Firefox:-

ssh -fC2qTnN -D 8080 chris@cheddar.halon.org.uk

However I now get a security error from Firefox when I try it:-

Secure Connection Failed

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the
authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this
problem.

Has anyone else encountered this and/or does anyone know how to fix it?
