User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 Build ID: 20120601045813 Steps to reproduce: checked my server based junk mail filter. Actual results: SSL certificate mismatch, there is NO option to bypass the blocking. I am the owner of anoid.com, Dreamhost is the hosting service i use, the SSL cert is registered with dreamhost. Expected results: This is legitimate, i need the https connection to safely access my junk/spam folder. i know what i am doing, give the option to accept it. Safari allows it, it is in my keychain (i am running OSX 10.7.4)
Make a back-up copy of cert8.db stored in your Firefox profile, then delete the original file. Restart Firefox and make a try.
(In reply to Loic from comment #1) > Make a back-up copy of cert8.db stored in your Firefox profile, then delete > the original file. Restart Firefox and make a try. tried this, it ask for an exception to the main webmail(squirrelmail) page, but failed again when i clicked on the junk folder
Ok. Could you test with a new Firefox profile please? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0
Sorry, bad link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles
added new fresh virgin profile. exact same results, i still don't have a way to create an exception. this bug needs to be fixed.
Can you please provide a testcase so we can try to debug this issue?

This is happening to me today. The certificate itself is completely valid, but I'm connecting directly to one of my load-balanced web server instances so the hostname I'm using in the URL does not match the certificate's hostname. The error message ff gives me is: " www1.mydomain.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for www.mydomain.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) " When I click the "Add Exception..." button, I get this message about the certificate: " Valid Certificate This site provides valid, verified identification. There is no need to add an exception. " The certificate itself is an EV cert and we are providing the server's certificate plus two intermediate certificates from the CA. My Firefox version is 32.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.5. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0

Christopher - try clearing the cache (History -> Clear Recent History...) If that doesn't work, please file a new bug. This is an old bug that is probably a duplicate of bug 800882.

(In reply to David Keeler (:keeler) [use needinfo?] from comment #9) > Christopher - try clearing the cache (History -> Clear Recent History...) Looks like that did the trick: I can now add an exception. Thanks for the tip.
