Thanks. The problem is that it's a current IBM page that contains the offending link - not some old bookmark of mine. This is the page that I get from clicking on a PTF number in the APAR text, that gives me the choice of ShopzSeries or IBMLINK. The IBMLINK link is the https://www.ibmlink.ibm.com one that has a bad cert. I have great trouble understanding why a company like IBM allows this kind of thing to happen repeatedly. As Firefox says, "Don't add an exception unless you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification. Legitimate banks, stores, and other public sites will not ask you to do this."
