I use Firefox all day long to connect to network devices that use self-signed certificates. It is not possible for us to load certificates on these devices. I really need a fix or workaround for this issue.

Hi dp99, Please check to make sure that the certificates follow these guides: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/g.../policy/

Background on the change: http://www.infoworld.com/article/2607.../mozilla-to-strengthen-ssl-certificate-verification-in-firefox.html

You might be able to temporarily disable the policy from the about:config page or lock preferences on your network, however it is not secure.

I hope this helps.
