Mozilla 3 apparently unilaterally decides that certain security issues relating to SSL certificates cannot be manually bypassed by the user. This needs to be corrected.
I was configuring an iLO port on a server bound to a local IP network. When I put the server on a public IP and tried to connect to the iLo port, I got this error:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to [redacted].
You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)
* The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
----
No amount of deleting of any and all server certificates via tools:options:advanced:certificates:...
remedied the situation.
As a result for all intents and purposes Firefox 3 is totally useless to manage that iLO server port because whoever set this up refused to allow me to specify a security exception. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
Reproducible: Always

Removing your cert8.db file as described in http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Could%20not%20initialize%20the%20browser%20security%20component#w_corrupted-file will allow you to access the server.
