I am not the owner of the website with that certificate.
I am developing a xulrunner based application which has a browser component
to it. The user could potentially visit any website with a certificate.

I was hoping I could somehow intercept that request to feed back a default
result. e.g for prompts, I have implemented a prompt service that I register
with Mozilla service manager. This way whenever a prompt or alert or http
credentials dialog needs to appear, my prompt service is notified, and I can
deal with it however I want. Similarly, I would like more control over the
certificate dialog.

The browser only asks this if the certificate is not authenticated by a

You need to purchase an SSL certificate from a CA - then the browser
will not pop up a dialog and will open the page right away.

The message does not convey too well to the user that the certificate in
question has a problem - either it was self-issued (which, incidentally,
is perfectly okay for internal use, e.g. connecting to a computer on
your own network) or has already expired.


I bought a certificate from godaddy last year - it was pretty cheap
(about $20/year)



Hope this helps
