Hi folks Firefox told me there are unvalidated certificates? At facebook and the facebook page comes up looking like straight left aligned HTML not its usual. It doesnt do this in Explorere but it does tell me that there are certificates at the site that are a problem and ask if I want to continue.

If you have SSL errors on multiple sites or in multiple browsers, it can indicate that your system clock is a bit off. If that isn't it, can you describe the error message in more detail?

More generally, When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

1. Bypass Firefox's Cache

Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...

2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"

3. If needed, remove the site's cookies in this dialog

While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
