lee, on my FF I can import a self-signed certificate when I go to: about:preferences#advanced and then select the 'Servers' tab. After I import it I can select it and click on the 'Add Exception' button at the bottom of the tab. Enter the http address of the server and FF should go and fetch it afresh when you click on 'Get Certificate', then tick 'Permanently store this exception' and 'Confirm Security Exception'. These buttons will be greyed out if do not download the certificate or if I am running FF in Private Browsing mode. -- Regards, Mick
