Still the need to uncheck the "Secure server certification authority"?

Hello everyone,

I always unchecked the " Entrust.net secure server certification authority" before surfing online in order not to be tracked by the hackers. But, with the birth of the latest 4.0 version, I could "tell the web sites I do not want to be tracked". So here comes the question: do I still have to uncheck this item first to get online, pls.? Problem is that I couldn't get access to my bank account or some other investing account with the item unchecked--"This connection is untrusted".

Thanking you in advance.

If you enable that feature then Firefox only sends a DNT=1 header via the HTTP response header with each request. It is up to servers to do something with it.
