FF5 certificate problem

more options

I am having problems logging on to Fox Sports sign in page, it the sign in page doesn't show. FF5 tells me that the site's certificate expired and is untrusted. I've tried giving that page an exemption, the log in page will not show up. I've tried deleted the certificates, that didn't work either. I am unable to view the page.

oh this gets better. I went to the fire fox addon page, it tells me that pages certificate expired and was untrusted. I can't get into that page either.

Double-click on the time showing in the System Tray, lower-right corner of the screen, and see if the date is set correctly.

You may have stored an expired certificate in the Certificate Manager

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates

You can try to rename the file cert8.db to cert8.db.old in the Firefox Profile Folder to remove all intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored by visiting secure websites.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed file cert8.db.old unless you have user certificates that you may want to export first and import them in the new file.
Otherwise you can restore the certificates by renaming (copying) the file back to cert8.db

Firefox will automatically store new intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send them.
