It's currently not a weak spot of Firefox...but I asked Nelson for the RFC which suggests that one /can/ fetch intermediate CA certificates the way IE does. If there is such a standard which suggests it as an option, than I think Mozilla should implement it.... > You just blamed the server at the Ipsos site.

If you install a web page wrongfully on your web server and the page doesn't render, who do you have to blame? The browser? Of course not...so in this case, this is a problem of the server admin as well... > but finger pointing doesn't get the > problem solved.

I'd rather suggest *not* to visit that site and *not* participate in any survey until the problem is fixed! Obviously this site doesn't really give you a good feeling...judging from the URL, certificate installation etc....I wouldn't provide any data...But perhaps this is what it's all about? Maybe they don't want non-microsoft - non-IE users to participate? ;-) -- Regards Signer: Eddy Nigg, StartCom Ltd.
