User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0
Build ID: 20120601045813

Steps to reproduce:

checked my server based junk mail filter.


Actual results:

SSL certificate mismatch, there is NO option to bypass the blocking. I am the owner of anoid.com, Dreamhost is the hosting service i use, the SSL cert is registered with dreamhost. 


Expected results:

This is legitimate, i need the https connection to safely access my junk/spam folder. i know what i am doing, give the option to accept it. Safari allows it, it is in my keychain (i am running OSX 10.7.4)

Make a back-up copy of cert8.db stored in your Firefox profile, then delete the original file. Restart Firefox and make a try.

This is happening to me today.

The certificate itself is completely valid, but I'm connecting directly to one of my load-balanced web server instances so the hostname I'm using in the URL does not match the certificate's hostname.

The error message ff gives me is:

"
www1.mydomain.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for www.mydomain.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
"

When I click the "Add Exception..." button, I get this message about the certificate:

"
Valid Certificate

This site provides valid, verified identification. There is no need to add an exception.
"

The certificate itself is an EV cert and we are providing the server's certificate plus two intermediate certificates from the CA.

My Firefox version is 32.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.5.

Christopher - try clearing the cache (History -> Clear Recent History...)
If that doesn't work, please file a new bug. This is an old bug that is probably a duplicate of bug 800882.

Looks like that did the trick: I can now add an exception. Thanks for the tip.
