OK, no takers on the first post so, how do I add a security certificate
to SM? I've looked through Help but it's not very clear to me.
From what I can tell, Verisign has updated something and SM 2.09 is not
recognizing the change.
Welcome to the wonderful world of over-protecting users. See the
following bug reports, none of which seem to have much support among
developers:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545498>
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548380>
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558222>
It appears this worked for me:
What is the value of browser.xul.error_pages.enabled in about:config?
If it is true, as is default in Firefox, an SSL error on a full page or
frame should give an error page with an "Add Exception" button instead
of a pop-up.
Mine was user set as false and changing it to true gave me the add
exception button.
I can't thank you enough for pointing me to the bug reports where I
could finally find out how to over-ride this setting.
As I pointed out in bug #548380, the preference variable
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled controls too many unrelated error
situations. I prefer to leave it false so that an invalid domain causes
an error popup instead of a new error page.
It was the only way I found to be able to view the web page I was being
denied access to.
Was there a better solution that I didn't see?
Unfortunately, no.
As I surf online tonight, I see why I turned this to false. I use a
HOSTS file and every little thing it blocks gives me a window that says
it was unable to connect, for example: The connection was refused when
attempting to contact ad.doubleclick.bs. The HOSTS file removes the bs
advertisement but it's replaced with the irritating warning. It's a
choice of irritations.
I use Adblock Plus to block such things as ad.doubleclick.net. It's
available from<http://adblockplus.org/en/>.
Using Adblock Plus leaves my Hosts file available for its intended
purpose: a local DNS table. I also have an application that maintains
it, updating the IP addresses for the domains I have added to Hosts.
I use Adblock Plus also. Over-kill I guess, with my mvps HOSTS file.
