Foutcode: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid firefox 33
HI,
I have ecountered the problem (Foutcode: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid) in version 31 and 32 before but after updating to 33 the solution no longer works (solution was disabling security.use_mozzilapkix_verification in about:config)
I get this error when i try to access a intern site with a selfmade certificate that works before... is there anyway to disable the error?

Does Firefox present the third part of the error page ("I understand the risks") and allow you to save an exception for the site?
I have the same problem after updating FF to 33.0. Problem looks like this (pic in attachment). There is no additional "I understand the risks". security.use_mozzilapkix_verification, that solved the problem in FF 32.x is not working with 33.0
no it doesnt (sorry for the late reply) it doesnt give anny option...
In some cases, clearing old saved certificates and exceptions will work around this issue, but it isn't a cure all for all sites.
You can manually remove old exceptions in the Options/Preferences dialog, or you can remove the cert8.db file from your currently active Firefox profile folder.

I already removed the cert8.db file but i still get the error
I have been reading about this and it's more complicated than I can understand, much less explain.
For business use with internal sites, could I suggest the Extended Support Release (ESR) of Firefox 31 instead of Firefox 33, at least until the developers sort out how this will be handled in the regular release?
