SSL connection fails with "An error occurred during a connection to 24xx:xxxx::x:xx:443.

The certificate issuer's certificate has expired. Check your system date and time.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate). Previous versions of Firefox allows me to add an exception. This one doesn't. I get the same error with Get Certificate. I've deleted the previous certificate info and it won't reset on a new connection attempt. Is this a bug? I get in fine with IE.

Chosen solution

Try to add an exception manually in the Certificate Manager.

Hi, Thanks for the clue. I did go back and added the cert that was previously accepted and voila, ...it worked.
