Firefox 8.0.1 invalid certificate error

I've rebuilt my PC (windows vista sp2) after a complete system crash caused by a rootkit virus and I'm now having problems with valid sites such as facebook, skype, and network solutions. I keep getting an invalid certificate error even when I export/save the certificate. My computer clock is set properly and I've gone through every step recommended on mozilla help for the invalid certs....please help me! These sites come up perfectly in Explorer...

Vivek you're a lifesaver!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I've been fighting with this problem for over a week now. With one teeny tiny delete, everything is back to normal....
Thank you thank you....

  • Too many invalid certificate errors.

    I am getting a dozen invalid certificate errors launching iTunes (all sites with the domain itunes.apple.com) but also for many https sites, including my bank.  I verified my date/time are set correctly.  Other suggestions? Please help.

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
    Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
    Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
    Check the box marked
    Set date and time automatically
    if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
    Repeat with this line:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
    Step 3
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
    In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
    File ▹ Add Keychain
    from the menu bar and add the following items:
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
    When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
    Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
    Step 4
    Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
    Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
    Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
    from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL.
    Step 6
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    /var/db/crls
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Step 7
    Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.

  • Itunes "invalid certificate" error message

    when launching itunes I get an error message that a certain url has an invalid certificate.  I've been to this website many times previously without a problem.  I have subscribed to podcasts from it.  it has a short alternative url too: cac.org    But now, when this message appears, the spinning beachball appears and I can do nothing but force quit itunes.  I've rebooted; no change.

    Check the time and date on your computer that its correct

  • WRT300N Invalid Certificate Error

    I'm trying to connect to my router on a new computer. I type in the IP address and I get an error that says:
    "You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
    Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number."
    I have connected to this router before on my old computer before it died. The only thing I have done is install the LinkSys software on this new computer, could that cause this error?
    Thank you for any help.

    It's not the router. It's more of the settings of your browser. You need to lower down the security settings to avoid this problem. Try to go to tools->internet options->content. Clear the SSL, and delete the existing certificates there.

  • WRT54GS and Certificate Errors

    I have had my WRT54GS (actually 2 in the house) for over a year now and they have worked perfectly. Just recently, I have problems accessing them through IE or Firefox. I get a certificate error. I removed the Linksys certificates and added them when asked in IE but it still gives me an error. Anyone experiencing this?

    what specific error?try to check your browser settings..(cookies,files etc..)
    try a different pc if it would do the same thing
    if it is try doing reset press and hold the reset for 30 secs.. then turn it off for a minute or so then try again it should work..

  • Recent rash of invalid certificates

    Running Safari 6.02 w/OSX 10.8.2
    Recently I've been getting a lot of invalid certificate errors trying to go to "common websites".
    Example - Safari can't identify the website www.google.com  The certificate for this website is invalid.
    This is something that has recently started occuring.  Is this a settings issue, some "malware", or a potentially a network issue?
    What's changed is I recently got a new Linksys wifi router.  Something I need to tweek there?
    I've deleted history including cookies, no difference.

    First, the process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't currently work behind an authenticating proxy, such as those used on some enterprise networks. If you're in that situation, contact your network administrator.
    If you're running a third-party firewall such as “LittleSnitch” or “Hands Off,” disable it and test.
    Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    Otherwise, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
    If not, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
    /var/db/crls
    From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You’ll be prompted for your administrator password when you do this. Then reboot, empty the Trash, and try again.

  • Error when starting Firefox 3.6. "Javascript Application error. Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username." Any suggestions on what to look for to resolve this?

    When starting Mozilla Firefox 3.6, I get an error window which opens up additionally overtop my browser windows stating:
    "Javascript Application"
    followed with :
    "Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username."
    Obviously it is happening with one of my email addresses/usernames & password combinations of which I know the username for (which I choose not to post here) and I'm not sure where to begin looking for a resolution to this problem.

    I was able to resolve this by disabling (under Tools - Add-ons) Yahoo! Mail Notifier
    Hope this helps some of you also!

    I try verify again the cert I imported and it says
    Serial Number : 11 22 33 44
    Issuer : CN=Siebel Test,OU=Oracle
    Guys, do you know what I'm missing?
    1) I have already check my inbound parameter do not have white spaces like this => 11223344
    2) I have added this double quatation in my HTTPCertAuthority because I suspected is required for Issuer with space value.
    3) When I try import from Siebel it put the cert into intermediate certificaiton tab but when I import to IE it went to other people tab. Is this expected ?
    The cert is working when I try import it to IE and when to this URL:https://Uknown/Uknown.asmx
    Thanks for reading,
    I hope some guys put some light

    Hello,
    Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support!
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I am getting a Invalid Server Certificate error when I go to secure web sites.

    I am getting an Invalid Server Certificate error in Safari when I go to https web sites. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My time and date are correct on my computer. I have no problem accessing non-https web sites.
    Any suggestions on why this is happening are appreciated.

    Launch the Activity Monitor application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select “All Processes” from the popup menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Does a process with that name appear in the table below?
    If not, see this thread:

  • Firefox shows an unknown certificate error while Chrome does not for same site

    On a site at which Credit Card payment info is shown, Firefox is reporting a certificate error while Chrome does not. Prefer to use FF but need to know if warning is right or not. Have cleared the cache and still get the warning. This is new to FF as we've used it on this site for several years.

    HI khetheri,
    In order to better test the certificate may we request the certificate without the private keys? I have some backup from the security team if this is possible.
    There is a temporary work around as well but I don't recommend turning on all certificates to make sure it is not a compatibility error(ish)
    It is possible to check if it is being detected as a bad certificate in Firefox itself to eliminate compatibility issues.
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # Search for '''browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert ''' and set it to true to try the certificate normally.
    Looking forward to your reply!

  • I get a certificate error using firefox, I have tried deleting cert8.db, and resetting Firefox. I don't have any errors using IE 10. What can I do?

    I used a link in an email to check the status of a repair from Acer and received the error "customercare.acer.com uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)". I tried going directly to the Acer website, and went to support, then to check case status. I received the same error. I reactivated IE 10 on my OS and had no problems with certificate errors. I use McAfee Antivirus suite from ATT Uverse, but the troubleshooting did not indicate any settings for that, only ESET and Bitdefender.

    Could you take a look at the certificate details?
    If you click "I understand the risks" and "Add Exception", then the "View" button, does it look at all like the attached? I suggest using a new window to compare because when the certificate viewer is open, you cannot switch tabs in the same window.
    You can cancel the viewer after checking, you may not want to create an exception until getting further comments.

  • Install certificate error

    I have been trying for at least a month to install the new iTunes. Every time it gets in the middle of the install it errors out saying there is an invalid certificate.

    I found it. For Firefox it is under Tools / Options / Advanced / View Certificates
    That will only give you a list of Names and Devices. Highlight the one you think it might be then click on view to see the expiration dates.
    Right now I am on a different computer. I will try it later on my iTunes computer.

  • Help! Major "Security Certificate" Errors when browsing

    The various Mac Forums I've tried have attempted to help (can post their solutions if needed), but none worked. My issue occurs on ALL of my home computers (MacBook and iMac using wi-fi) and ALL of my browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome).
    The problem:
    - Security Certificates: They pop up daily for Facebook mostly, but also Twitter. I will click Continue, which takes me to...
    - 404 Error/Page Not Found Error: After the Certificate error mentioned above, this happens. Mostly to YouTube. It will stay like this for a few hours. I've cleared cache, rebooted, etc. etc. Nothing works.
    - Images turn into little blue boxes with a question mark in them. **When this happens, it's an indication that a Certificate box will pop up out of the blue.
    - Even on Google.com, it will say: Invalid URL
    The requested URL "/", is invalid.
    Reference #9.df260e6b.1336506889.420cf4f
    So what can I do? It happens on both my Macbook Pro and iMac - both connected wirelessly to a Linksys router/cable modem. The router is 
    Wireless-N Broadband Router
    WRT160Nv3
     with 
    Firmware Version: v3.0.02 

    1. Certificate warnings are there for a reason. Simply ignoring them and clicking continue is generally the worst you can do.
    2. For the a certificate warning, look into the certificate and post the details.
    3. What happens, if you connect the computer directly to the modem? Do you have the same problem?
    4. Download the latest firmware for your router and upload it to the router using the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/
