I get this from the server that runs the WatchGuard SPAM Filter, and I USED to be able to add an exception, and it was fine.

Under "Technical Details" I get:

"An error occurred during a connection to sp-servername.domain.local:4119.

Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"

Clicking the "Add Exception" Button does NOTHING...

I can take the URL, copy/paste it into IE, and it works fine... It's happening on multiple systems... All Windows 7 All FF Version 37.0.1
