Why firefox not asking me to add security exception?
Firefox is not asking me to add security exception in the case when Issuer certificate is invalid with error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid. I know that its invalid but why firefox doesn't allow me to add exception for it?
This problem is there since I updated to FF 33.0 I have already tried to Reset Firefox, but that didn't help me.
What are the possible solutions? Please help.

You can try to rename the cert8.db file (cert8.db.old) and delete the cert_override.txt file in the Firefox profile folder to remove intermediate certificates and exceptions that Firefox has stored.
If that has helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file. Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previously stored intermediate certificates. Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Could be this bug:
- bug 1042889 - mozilla::pkix, cannot override sec_error_ca_cert_invalid with version 1 certificate, and other scenarios (with or without pkix)
