The message about CVE-2009-3555 is meant for webmasters to make them aware that they need to fix their servers. Firefox 3.6 versions can detect such a misconfiguration and displays a warning in the "Tools > Error Console".

You can't suppress that error message. Future Firefox versions may even block access to websites that haven't updated their security. See Bug 549641 – Firefox raises alarm (in error console) about SSL servers being vulnerable to CVE-2009-3555

You can hide the error messages with these two extensions: Console2: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1815 Error Console Message Remover: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/109239/
