[SOLVED] Invalid security certificate?

Baejung92 · 10-22-2009, 06:15 PM

I've been using the Common App Online at www.commonapp.org for the past couple months to complete college applications, and I think most people would agree that this is a completely trustworthy site. When I tried logging in today, though, Firefox threw up an Untrusted Connection warning, saying that it cannot confirm if the connection is secure. The commonapp home page is fine, this only happens when I attempt a login. Maybe it's a temporary hitch or false alarm, but would it be safe for me to continue?

I think you be ok as long, in the address bar shows/start out with:

https://

Look at this thread, it has the same basic error with FF:

[SOLVED] mozilla firefox can't open mail account

Thank you for the reply. At any rate, the issue seems to have been temporary, FF doesn't throw up the warning anymore :)
