When I visit a site, firefox reports invalid security certificate but doesn't offer to add an exception
When I visit a site that has an invalid security certificate, my laptop presents me with a nice little dialog box telling me that the connection is untrusted and allowing me to view the site by clicking ""I understand the risks" My desktop however shows a completely different dialog. It is a simple dialog with a title of "Alert" and says ...uses an invalid security certificate... not trusted blah blah and an ok box so I can't ever proceed to the site.

I'm using Firefox 32.0.2 on Windows 8 64 bit.
Suggestions would be welcome. thanks Selwyn

You can check the browser.xul.error_pages prefs on the about:config page.
- browser.xul.error_pages.enabled = true
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

No wonder Firefox doesn't like that website.
