I suspect the requirement (based on the [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/NSS_3.26_release_notes|3.26 release notes]]) *might* be for ALPN and/or TLS1.3 support.

 +Update: (December 2018) NSS Security patch brings Slackware 14.2 up to nss-3.40 which should fix this too.

 +That LinuxQuestions post you reference is now more than a year old. A few posts later (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/requests-for-current-20151216-a-4175561577/page186.html#post5756812) I answered that you can install Chromium as an alternative that works on Slackware 14.2. My Chromium 70, released today, also still works well on Slackware 14.2. \\  --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2018/10/25 09:30 (UTC)//
