Why don't FF does not load this page?

[Ben]

Anyone could tell why this web page : https://www.ultimatix.net won't load
in Firefox?

Always gets this error :
"Could not establish an encrypted connection because certificate presented
by www.ultimatix.net is invalid or corrupted. Error Code: -8102".

This page opens fine in IE and Opera (of cource with the warning about the
Digital Certificate).

Thanks,
Ben

IE answered your question. The site is marked as an "untrusted" site.
Netscape, Firefox and Flock
all will not open the site. You will have bypass by "trusting" the site
[not a good idea if you don't
know about the site]. If you didn't get any error like I did when opening
it in IE, then you have
already told IE to trust the site.

Please don't top-post in this group. Guidelines are at

The problem isn't that the certificate isn't trusted. Firefox handles
certificates signed by untrusted authorities the same way IE and Opera
do -- the user is prompted to make a decision and can proceed to the
site if s/he wants. See <https://phoenix.chaselink.com/> for an
example.

Invalid or corrupted certs are a different matter; unfortunately, I
don't have any clue about what problem Firefox is having with the
ultimatix.net one. As Ben says, IE and Opera handle it fine.
