SSL cert is on non-www version of my website. I set up .htaccess file to redirect to non-www URL. Firefox first goes to https://www. which isn't secure and before it can redirect to the non-www version that is secure it show a security warning. Example... you type www.anysite.com. first it resolves to https://www.anysite.com which doesn't have a SSL. The logic should then forward it to https://anysite.com which does have a SSL. Chrome and Opera resolve correctly. Firefox isn't waiting to the final URL and is prematurely showing an SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error.
