Asking for blocking 1.8a6. Sites with expired certificates are pretty common.

Hopefully bug 274703 will fix the root cause of this bug. If the patch attached
there turns out to be wrong or doesn't get the necessary reviews, I can add the
same kind of wallpaper to fix this bug as I did for bug 274481.

Adding URL of a site with an expired certificate.

Since bug 274703 is not fixed yet and Mozilla 1.8a6 nears, here is some small
piece of wallpaper for this bug.

Wallpaper checked in. Marking fixed.

I backed out the wallpaper again, because bug 274703 fixed the root-cause of
this bug.

Verified FIXED using build 2005-01-21-05 on Windows XP Seamonkey trunk.

http://www.games.com uses expired certs;
http://play.games.com/playgames/game_login.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=41815&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2549&bmUID=1106367430752
should yield such a one, which can be viewed properly since the wallpaper was
backed out (real issue is verified FIXED as well).
