I have tried following: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connection-untrusted-error-message#w_the-certificate-is-not-trusted-because-the-issuer-certificate-is-unknown
The file cert8.db in your profile folder may have become corrupted. Delete this file while Firefox is closed.
1. Open your profile folder:
1. Open your profile folder:
- Click the menu button , click help and select The image "Troubleshooting Information" does not exist.. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
- Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
- Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
3. In Windows Explorer, click on the file named cert8.db (or cert8 if extensions are hidden)
4. Press Delete.
5. Restart Firefox.
Today I decided to look into this error messages and luckly found a solution for it. There is a inter-middle certificate issued from our Proxy server. That is why I got all those warning messages.
Although this untrusted certifcate is issued to *.google.com, but it is issued by our internal web-gate server, which is our Proxy server.
The solution will be easy as well since we got the root cause. As soon as you export this web-gate Proxy server Certificate from IE browser, you can import it into Firefox to let Firefox trust it.
Import it into Firefox:
After exported certificate imported into Firefox, this annoying warning message is gone.
Note: If you have multiple Proxy server certificates such as my case, you will have to export all of them and import them into your firefox.
