Hi Shannon,
Here is a page that discusses intermediate certificates a bit:
http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a134/ssl-certificates-
intermediate-certificates-browser.aspx
I can't find a better treatment at the moment, but if I understand Steve
correctly, it likely comes down to how IE can work around a broken SSL
"chain of trust" setup by making use of the X.509 AIA (Authority
Information Access) extension (covered in RFC3280) and fetching the
missing intermediate certificates itself. Whereas Firefox says, "Fix
your damn site, I'm not going to do your work for you" :-)
Steve, thank you for commenting here. This does appear to be nothing
more than a misconfigured site. Firefox in Jaunty/9.04 can connect to
the original adobe.com URL without a hitch, so at least for sites that
bother to test with non-IE browsers, GlobalSign's certificates should
Just Work(tm).
