Answer:

This is due to Firefox having one of Verisign’s Certificate Authority’s turned off. This is one the new Verisign SSL certificates issued to SDS uses as an Intermediate Certificate Authority.

1.  This can be resolved by going to Tools – Options.

2.  Click the View Certificates button.

3.  Scroll down and select the CA we have highlighted below.

4.  Click Edit.

5.  Checkmark “This certificate can identify web sites.

6.  Click Ok and close all windows.
