In order for the changes to take affect, please consider restarting your computer.

If there are specific certificates in Firefox that are expired, you can right click on the page and select "Page Info" and under security you can forget the certificate.

If the time change does not help, it is also possible to reset Firefox. Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems
