It appears that firefox version 3.6.6, when flash player tries to verify the certificate, firefox issues error. (Level:Fatal, Description:Unknown CA), which causes flash player not able to connect to sites. Although, it looks as browser itself able to handle the error properly, so https works fine.

Flash player running in Chrome works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Flash Player running inside the Firefox browser not able to authenticate with certificate GlobalSign organization Validation certificate CA from 3.5.6 version onwords.
Issue is reproducible even in current version firefox 4 beta 6.

Expected Results:  
It should not produce any error, as it was till firefox 3.5.5.
