      When I try to connect to this site, Palemoon gives me this message:

      Secure Connection Failed
      
      An error occurred during a connection to athenacard.gr.
      
      Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).
      
      (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
      
          The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
          Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

      No connection problem if using Firefox ESR.
      I use palemoon-nonsse2, version 27.8.1 (32-bit).

        No connection problem if using Slimjet, too.
        So, it seems that the problem has to do with Palemoon.
        I did a search at Palemoon forum for this phrase:
        ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
        Too many results. It seems to be a quite common connection problem, not only to the specific site.
        This seems to be a start point. Perhaps I’ ll see it later.

          I’ve been using PM for a long while and in many distros (Obarun, Artix, ….will no longer mention it …, antix, void) and never had a problem accessing this site.
          Are you running any plugins on pm that may have it black listed?

            The page you linked, it contains an explanation of “why?” (decidedly “for your own good”) and instructions howto override/change/fix

              Well, “point 2” (RC4) is the case. After having set to true security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_128_sha in the preferences list and added the hostname of the site to security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts, I connect to it without problem. So, I suppose it’s actually an issue for the server operators, and not about the browser. I would mark this topic as “solved” (if I could).
