I don't think that this is a firefox problem: The cert mentioned above is injected by opendns, a service the provides "secure DNS" (http://www.opendns.com).
Typically when the requested site is in a blocked category, opends resolves the domain requested to a own site that contains a page indicating this blockage. When the requested site was https, opendns does a redirect to the https version of this "blocked" notice which obviously is backed by the opends cert. Due to the fact that opendns is outright lying to the browser about the TCP/IP address of the requested site, there is nothing that firefox could do to detect this and alert the user. This bug probably should be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917299 Title: Security Connection Failure notice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/917299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
