I have this annoying problem - every time I get into a site with a security certificate I always see a warning page that the certificate is invalid. I've grown accustomed to just setting an exception and never seeing this again (for sites I trust of course).
Today I tried browsing godaddy to buy a domain, and it started acting weird - it only shows me a text version of the site, where most of the images and the style page are missing. A screenshot of the top of the page:
Only at the end of the page does some kind of unstyled plain text dump appears. I can only come to the conclusion that the CSS file in unsigned and that Firefox doesn't show it.
My questions:
How come the Firefox thinks that all the certificated it sees are invalid (including it's own, like addons.mozilla.com)?
Why doesn't go daddy work right, and how do I fix it?
Edit: IE7 shows me a page about the certificate not being valid but than shows me the page nicely formatted.
I should maybe add that I'm a pretty security aware guy, and that I don't beleive it's a problem caused by malicious software on my computer. I tried installing a fresh copy of windows on a virtual machine and Firefox showed me the same error.
Further details: The exception text is:
www.godaddy.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate expired on 1/25/2009 7:35 PM.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)
I'm pretty sure my computer time is right (21 august 2009, unless I'm insane too, but that's a different question :))
