First read this Mozillazine page In my case the problem was that some program overwrote the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Runtime Environment/BrowserJavaVersion with the old value 1.6.0_01.

Well, check that SSLv2 is enabled in Firefox’s about:config page first. It seems that http://correos.es hasn’t realized that SSLv2 is a bit unsecure and they still force you to use that one. So to enable SSLv2 follow this instructions. I did, and now I can login.

I’ve just installed the Firefox 2.0 RC1 and noticed that almost every extension/add-on I had has been disabled. Firefox 2.0 check if the extension is compatible with the Firefox version and disables it if it is not. You can force firefox to load the extension anyway using the Nightly Tester Tools.
