Getting error code sec_error_inadequate_cert_type

Question

Hi, when I trying to open the application url: https://ibox2.qa.wddl.il/ianalystmanager-platform-qa1/. I am getting error message: Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to ibox2.qa.wddl.il.
Certificate type not approved for application.
(Error code: sec_error_inadequate_cert_type)
I have no issue open it in chrome, and via safari, I am allowed to select trust a certificate and continue to open. But via firefox (version 13.0.1), there is no button or checkbox what so ever.
Could you please help?
Thanks!

We have a webservice client trying to connect to Sun One webserver using https. we have a certificate in pfx format and converted the same in to java keystore and configured ssl on both the client and the server side. Now when the client makes a SSL call we get the following error
On SunOne Webserver side (Server Side)

From Client Side
