there something I can do to resolve this?

If you get an unexplained certificate error you should assume that you are under a man in the middle attack, until you have convinced yourself otherwise.

Your first highlighted line indicates that the certificate Facebook presented is not one you have seen previously from them. The second highlighted line indicates that you do not have the root certificate installed for the alleged signer of the that certificate.

You need to obtain that certificate by secure means, convince yourself that they are reliable and appropriate people to authenticate Facebook servers, and install it.

Some information on how to install a root certificate that you trust, on Windows Pidgin, can be found at <https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/MSNCertIssue>.

You should not rely on mailing lists like this to tell you whether you can trust any particular certificate as posters here are not authenticated or vetted.
