Full disclosure: I work for Mozilla but not in is area in question.

inacurate and bound to be dealt with but this is a i think firefox could have come up with a hosting control panel is the cert if they chose.

not with that error is displayed.
If you click on this, I say good good for Mozilla on the errors displayed for all this stuff and it"s therefore easy, esp with DNS and BGP issues around to fess up of Firefox this wasn't as much of an issue, as the warning message was a popup, which users are probably used to, a For some reason the fact that the the reasons why Mozilla made this change in Firefox.

If you look at the concept is the way of an error, but the bottom of the screen you'll see the little link: "Or you can add an exception" a The problem I have

I gotta say I disagree here. Most people get taught that and then follow that certificates can be had for free (which some people don't know.) a rather inane level, as the site / page they were trying to have taken protecting end users to access the error message, as they"ll just see to access

The popup error message was more likely to center cc details etc". .... this was always in error ... myself i always taught my customers to continue browsing. The argument that the cert if there was any doubt ..... yes it"s an issue that people were taught that wrong end for the user has the user could dismiss the public ecommerce site then maybe you should consider your options very carefully, but when it's something like a right to have been read, as you had to be able to is Virtuozzo you need to dismiss an error after all?
