Continually getting certificate errors with Firefox, but none with Chrome, So many that it makes Firefox unusable
Continually getting certificate errors with Firefox, but none with Chrome, So many that it makes Firefox unusable. Older version of firefox didn't produce these errors, for the exact same websites. Very frustrating. Tried about 4 different workarounds listed in the community forum, but no luck. Does anyone have an idea? Ideally would just like for firefox to ignore all cert related errors. Or to have a continue button to proceed anyway.

Hmm, I can't access that address at all. Is it something internal to your network?
Usually it's not possible to bypass SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE, but perhaps someone will have a suggestion.
For normal websites, do you get that same error code or a different one?
If you are not (intentionally) using a proxy server, you might want to change this setting:
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
- Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Settings" button, which you can click.
The default of "Use system proxy settings" piggybacks on your Windows/IE "LAN" setting. "Auto-detect" can lead to a flaky connection. You may want to try "No proxy".
Any difference?
