I Understand the Risks
If you understand what's going on, you
can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification. Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is tampering with your connection.
Don't add an exception unless
you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification.

If the problem persists please try deleting the cert8.db file in the Firefox Profile Folder after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder in Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder, and exit Firefox.
