See this support thread - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/908584

First thing to check is if your date / time is set correctly in Windows. (the easiest)
Second thing that was mentioned in the thread is described here -

That is supposed to be fixed in Firefox 10 which is due to be released later today.

You can force an update by using Help > About Firefox - not every Firefox installation will automatically be offered that update today or tomorrow, and maybe not for a few days to a week.
