Pop-up warning windows

I have a question regarding my web browser (I'm currently using Firefox 8.0.1) and I have an iMac.

On various websites like espn.com and ebay (just to name a few) I’m constantly getting pop up warning windows such as:

This Connection is Untrusted 

or

(for example) securepics.ebaystatic.com:443 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is not trusted.


What do I need to fix/change in Firefox to keep from getting these “pop up” warnings. They are very annoying!

Thank you for your help.

Never mind Firefox 9. I have it on Firefox 11.0. Only solution I have found is to use Internet Explorer 9 :(
