hello farrukhse, firefox will block the connection in this case because the certificate key is too small to be secure: https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/x509Certs#Error_Codes_in_Firefox

please report that issue to the webmaster of the site in question so that they can generate a new secure certificate...
