Due to a webserver misconfiguration (regarding virtual hosts and ssl) I got an ssl_error_bad_cert_domain error from firefox for all my domains.
I've tried many webserver-configurations and thought i can test them hitting F5 (refresh) - but that's wrong.
Firefox seems to cache the ssl_error_bad_cert_domain result and doesn't update even on a refresh.
My webserver configuration was fine, but didn't work in Firefox, therefore I tested the request in another browser and it worked. That's how I discovered this "bug. Restarting Firefox helped (to clear the cache?) and my domains were working again
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prompt a ssl_error_bad_cert_domain error in firefox. (Caused by a certificate for another domain as the requested)
2. Fix the certificate error on your webserver.
3. Hit F5 in apache - the error will still be there.
Actual Results:
See Details.
Firefox caches the error.
Expected Results:
Firefox should do a real refresh when telling it to do so.
