I have problem specific to firefox. Anyone using my shop will get, at checkout when it turns to Https from http the website certified by an unknown authority.

 

Clearly this is stopping business - how do I remove this?

 

Many thanks

Then you should get a ssl certficate which is issued by a known authority.

 

Ie. a SSL certificate with as high browser coverage % as possible...preferably higher than 99%

It could be you have it installed incorrectly or the shop is not setup correctly. If your shop is setup to use www.mysite.com and you ordered the certificate for mysite.com, you will see that failure.

I used to believe this was a "bug" in Firefox.

 

The osC site I've worked had an SLL certificate that showed no errors and loaded fine in IE, but gave "certificate errors" in Firefox.

 

Since that time we've switched from a temporary to a permanant SSL certificate.

 

Since the SSL install in the Control Panel left a lot to be desired I sought assistance from the Web host.

 

Now - no SSL errors in Firefox.

 

I must have done something wrong on the first install.

:blush:

 

The moral of the story - If the SSL is correct and the configuration of the shop correct, Firefox won't display SSL errors.

;)

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I have asked my hosting company they say it's fine, but I still get the same problem.

 

I'll double check on whether it is temporary or permanent

 

Thanks for the suggestions

Can you post a link to the site?

:unsure:

 

Firefox is definitely more "picky" when it comes to SSL...

 

"Temporary" or "Permanant" has no bearing...

 

If it's installed correctly, and the site is configured correctly, Firefox won't do the old "choke and puke"...
