invalid security certificate

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009
I just had someone else ask me about the dreaded ...invalid security certificate popup in Firefox. While Firefox is my browser of choice, this is a pain. All it gives you is an "OK" box and that's it. No instruction how to proceed. Here is how you get around that problem. Make sure you only use this for sites you trust.
  1. copy the url you want
  2. click on tools
  3. click on options
  4. click on advanced at the top
  5. click on the view certificates button
  6. click on servers tab
  7. click on the add exception button
  8. paste (control-v or right click) the url
  9. click on the get certificate button
  10. ---read the message---
  11. If you still want to add it, click on the confirm security exception button
  12. click on the OK button
  13. click on the OK button
try the page again and it should load normally... have fun
