Are you importing the hospital's CA into firefox? or just setting an exception for that host to not require a valid SSL cert?

You can get a free cert at startssl.com. -wes On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 8:06 PM, Keith Lofstrom <[email protected]> wrote: > Does firefox retain added SSL certificates through updates? > > A certain very large hospital system, which is not Legacy but > shall otherwise be nameless :-), apparently does not fritter > away money on official certificates.
