I had this issue the first time that I boot flatfish since I skip the step of setup date and time (this is why to reproduce this bug you need step 2).

Some how I could make it add the exception and it goes to white screen with a "X" at the top left of the screen. As far as I remember I solve this by updating the date of the device.

Pavithran, I couldn't get the white screen this time. Maybe you want to add more information.

Is this bug anyway related to the tablet contribution program?

This certificate error is expected if the date is incorrect on device. So the bug has titled is invalid. Not sure about the white screen though.

Yes , I had got the "connection is untrusted" in beginning and after changing the date it started giving the blank screen with a small cross. 

The reason it was reported as bug was because flatfish came by default with wrong date , though its up to the user to change it.

I don't know about the white screen either. Due to security precautions, and other things. The date and time should be set correctly in order for apps to works and to navigate to websites. I think this bug is a WONTFIX.

The user should make sure the date and time on the device is correct before using. There are bugs out there on the device changing back to it's default original date; with that fixed, this will be too.
