Some sites just don't pay a |"trusted vendor" for a certificate, but Mozilla should prompt you just |like the other browsers do. When I was driving to work this morning the right side of my brain delivered the possible answer to the problem in a wide tray. But since I've been rather busy the whole morning, doing some boring work on the dark side (w-------) of my dual-boot box, I didn't have a chance to check it yet. |Starting simple, do you have your proxy set in the "SSL Proxy" line in |addition to the HTTP line? And that's exactly what had came to me earlier - I'm 90% sure I don't have proxy settings for anything besides HTTP on Mozilla. Either you and I have some kind of telepathic connection, or you have become VERY seasoned on catching other people's dumb mistakes and oversights . . . :)) |William Hooper Cheers Thiers
