As previously said, this is a security feature. If the current date on your computer is set to September 2, 2004 or before, a man-in-the-middle attacker who can control your network connection would be able to spoof any SSL site on the Internet using the MD5 Collisions Inc. certificate. This feature ensures Firefox never trusts the rogue certificate, even if the computer's clock is wrong.
** Changed in: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- "MD5 Collisions Inc." (expried) fake SSL certificate is installed as standard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482751 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
