in os x :

After upgraded to Firefox3, some https (SSL) website is unable to load. But reading the error messages (”Secure Connection Failed”) carefully, it actually have an option to bypass the security check. Here’s how :

- click on the link says “Or you can add an exception”,

- then click on the button “Add Exception …”,

- when the window “Add Security Exception” pops up, click on “Get Certificate” and then “Confirm Security Exception” button.

Voila, the page reloads !!!
