Firefox 3.5 Regression issues with wildcard SSL certificates
I really hate educating people how to do the following, but a bit of an explanation around this. Mozilla Firefox 3.5 now does not play nice with wildcard SSL certificates where you do things like service.servername.example.com when you only have a wildcard SSL certificate for *.example.com - the guys at Mozilla have marked the bug as "Won't Fix" which basically means that one now needs to teach people how to bypass this warning.
The latest version of Mozilla Firefox 3.5 has issues with wildcard SSL certificates and is giving warnings that "This Connection is Untrusted" when visiting https://service.servername.example.com/ - this is unfortunately an issue with the Mozilla Firefox 3.5 web browser. You will need to click on the "Add Exception..." link, ignore the warning about "You are about to override how Firefox identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores, and other public sites will not ask you to do this.". Click on "Get Certificate" and then click on "Confirm Security Exception". A bug is being filled with Mozilla about this regression in their software.
Hopefully Mozilla can release a patch Firefox 3.5.1 which reverts this regression in their software.
Anyway here is the list of bugs I'm going to be keeping an eye on for this issue:
