Actual results:

This Connection is Untrusted       

You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to www.midnight-commander.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

          Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
        
          What Should I Do?
          
            If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
                           
          Technical Details
          www.midnight-commander.org uses an invalid security certificate.

Opera and Chrome display the site as insecure for me, just like Firefox.
