Do you get a prompt to create an exception?

Click the site identity button - More Information - View Certificate https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-tell-if-my-connection-is-secure

Look for 'Issued By' and post that information or post a screenshot. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

Note that some anti-virus/firewall software and programs like Sendori, FiddlerRoot, or BrowserProtect can intercept your secure connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
