When a Web site requires client SSL authentication for access, and there is no client certificate in the firefox key store or only an expired certificate, a popup alert dialog is displayed with the error message "<web site url> has received an incorrect or unexpected message. Error Code: -12227".

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to access Web server with client SSL required
2.Popup error message dialog is displayed. No Web site content is loaded.
Actual Results:
See Details.
Expected Results:
The popup error message should be more useful, e.g. "Unable to establish SSL connection. A client certificate is required."
