valid certificate vs. sec_error_unknown_issuer

[stvo]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

On an attempted login to https://service.gmx.net/de/cgi/login firefox reports (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer).
After downloading the certificate the dialogue states that the provided information of the website are correct and verified. But the dialogue does only enable the abort button. This abort leads to a livelock (between the error screen and the dialogue) which occurs only at the first connection attempt, an automatic reload of the web page might solve this issue.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. This seems to be working now, could you please try again.

mmh, couldn't recreate the bug at several attempts. Does firefox update and cache certificates without further notice?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Firefox won't cache a cert without your express permission if it's invalid. It could have been a passing occurrence with the site.
