Details

(Whiteboard: [dupeme])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130618035212 Steps to reproduce: Change system date to 2004. (This happened accidentally in toronto power outage yesterday whilce computer was on) Try and go into nice sites such as www.hotmail.com ot www.gmail.com. Actual results: Security message comes on to tell you that the site is illegal. Expected results: The site is legal. Your software should look at the system clock, and if it is not current, you should put that on your message as a possible reason for failure. I am a Firefox user since about 2002
Confirmed FF 22, Win 7 x64.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Untriaged → Application Update
Ever confirmed: true
Product: Firefox → Toolkit
A proper error message should be displayed.
Why did you put this in Toolkit/AU? This is probably a Dupe anyways since the "SSL Vs wrong client date" Issue itself is very old.
