		<description><![CDATA[Firefox version 3.0.3 doesn't provide option to add self-signed certificate to exceptions. It gives an alert pop up with invalid certificate error and only an OK button. Work around is to add exception in Certificate Manager of Firefox by adding the host name with port number.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I often upgrade Firefox to the latest versions with only conditions: <a href="http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/index.html" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">google toolbar</a>, <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">Web Developer extension</a> and <a href="http://getfirebug.com/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">Firebug extension</a> supports.</p>
<p>I never ran into problems except with this latest version: 3.0.3</p>
<p>The problem: Websites with self-signed certificate are no longer working. It doesn&#8217;t give me the option to add exceptions like it used to be. (websites with exceptions added in previous versions are not effected.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fengcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/self-signed-cert-firefox-problem-01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-50" title="Self-signed certificate without add to exception option in ff 3.0.3" src="http://www.fengcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/self-signed-cert-firefox-problem-01-300x155.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="155" /></a></p>
<p>Tried this:<br />
Go to Tools -&gt; Option menu, select Advanced, on Encription tab click on View Certificates.<br />
Go to Servers tab in Certificate Manager, click on Add Exception<br />
Enter the host (https://localhost) then click on Get Certificate button.<br />
<strong>Same problem</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fengcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/self-signed-cert-firefox-problem-02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-51" title="Self-signed certificate invalid alert in Certification Manager of Firefox" src="http://www.fengcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/self-signed-cert-firefox-problem-02-300x296.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>After some searching, some are saying to re-set one of Firefox settings in about:config. However it doesn&#8217;t work in my case.</p>
<p>I gave it another try in the Certification Manager by use the host name with port number. <strong>It worked!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.fengcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/self-signed-cert-firefox-problem-03.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-52" title="Add self-signed certificate exception using host name and port number" src="http://www.fengcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/self-signed-cert-firefox-problem-03-300x297.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>I am glad it worked out and I don&#8217;t need to go back to 3.0.2 or wait for fix in the next version.</p>
