Firefox won't let me allow a security certificate
I need connect to work remotely, but firefox won't let me. Says it can't verify the gateway and it's not safe to connect to the server. It doesn't even give me any option except to view the certificate. when I do that, it just ways that Windows doesn't have enough information to verify the certificate. Help!

To summarize: In order to get access to this page, click "I understand the Risks". If it is not visible, the page is most likely in na iFrame or some form of popup, to fix this, right click anywere within the frame and select "This Frame" -> "Open Frame in New Tab".
I hope this helps

I tried that. It lets me connect remotely to the shared files, but I still cannot connect to my specific computer and the files on that.
Okey, then you can try to manually allow certificates from the site.
To do so, go to Firefox -> Options -> Advanced tab. From there click "Show certificates" and locate the certificate for the site. Once you have located the certificate, click something like "edit trust".
I hope it helps this time.

Thanks -- however, I did previously and marked it as an exception. Now it says that it is a valid certificate, but I am still not allowed access -- I get the same message.
I have this same problem. This is stupid because I am trying to connect at Starbucks and Firefox is making this impossible. When I click "I understand the risks", I want Firefox to comply.
If the browser jumps to another site, then JUMP! In my case, it is trying to jump to the Starbucks Log-in screen and Firefox is preventing this.
It is very sad that I needed to open Internet Explorer to connect to the internet.
Try to remove all previous exceptions you made to that server in the Certificate Manager.

Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
