[SOLVED] mozilla firefox can't open mail account

monc_33 · 05-04-2009, 01:39 AM

Dear all,
I have a problem.
I just installed mozilla firefox 3.01.
I can use it for browsing the internet, but when i want to open my mail account e.g yahoo.mail, it displays 'invalid security certificate'.
I attached the print screen.
Please anyone help me.

Just for a note, when i'm using internet explorer, everything's is okay.
Thank you.

Mona

This is really easy. You need to click on the add execption. Then it will ask you if you want to accept the certificate, you should click on yes. Then you should be able to get to the page.

The reason you are getting this is because you are accessing a secure page, if you look at the url it says https:// that is a secure site you just need to accept the certificate.

Cheers!
