Has anyone else seen this warning?
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to www.endless-sphere.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Technical Details
www.endless-sphere.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The certificate is only valid for endless-sphere.com
(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
I Understand the Risks
If you understand what's going on, you
can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification.
Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is
tampering with your connection.
Don't add an exception unless
you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification.
 
FireFox did an update which appears to have caused the alert. They did another update this morning and the alert has gone away. I have deleted the certificate and the problem has not returned.
Thanks

Even so, I'll put that on the "to solve" list. There might be a difference between the www.endless-sphere.com and endless-sphere.com certificates that needs fixing.
