Which security software (firewall) do you have?

Some firewalls monitor secure connections and send their own certificate instead of the certificate from the web server. You can check that if you click through the steps and get the certificate and look at the issuer. In such cases you need to install the root certificate of that firewall to make Firefox recognize the issuer of the certificate or disable monitoring secure connections (port 443).
