How do I stop Firefox from blocking access to my very-secure bank?

I have been using the same bank for 12 years but when I try to access it with Firefox I receive the following:

"Secure Connection Failed 

   The connection to www.bankofthewest.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

For settings, I'm blocking Flash and pop-ups, and ticked the box for "tell sites that I do not want to be tracked"

This is making me so frustrated that I might go back to Internet Explorer.

You can tell firefox to bypass from this only if you know that the website is legitimate . Legitimate public sites will not ask you to do this. An invalid certificate can be an indication of a web page that will defraud you or steal your identity. 

#   On the warning page, click Or you can add an exception....
#   Click Add Exception.... The Add Security Exception dialog will appear.
#   Click Get Certificate.
#    Read the text describing the problems with this site.
#    Click Confirm Security Exception if you want to trust the site.
