"SSL connection error" w/Chome/Mozilla

Banging my head against my computer right now…
Had a couple of sites that were suddenly returning SSL errors when attempting to log in, as well as pages not rendering properly.
I don’t have SSL certs on these sites – just simple WP sites.
When this first popped up a few weeks ago, I managed to find a solution via Google, but today I can’t seem to find anything.
IIRC, the solution involved modifying a config file somewhere to not allow the browser to force SSL – but there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Anyone know what I’m talking about – seemed like several folks were having that issue
