Default a "security certificate" question for J T

I'm using the latest update of FireFox. Lately, I've been getting an annoying pop up window...

“The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified. The certificate’s CN name does not match the passed value. Do you want to continue using this server?”

I've clicked "yes". Is this at Internet Brands end or mine? Am I at risk? If I click "no" will I forced to seek other Corvette forums?

Thanks.

Could you provide a screen capture or details about this certificate for verification?

I have to say I'm not aware of this issue - meaning I'm not seeing this while browsing CF and I'm also using the newest Firefox (6).

Do you also know exactly where in the forums you started receiving this?

Each time it's occurred, I've tried to right click on the window but that didn't work. It's occurred 2-3 times in the last few days. It's only occurred on this site.

A "screen capture" is beyond my abilities. :o

If I remember correctly I was in C5 General, but I'm not certain. I know the wording I included above is exactly what was in the window.

I found this with a GOOGLE search...
