Default Another failed connection

I am getting this with firefox

Code:
Secure Connection Failed
forums.opensuse.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 12/13/2008 12:39 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

    * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

    * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception…
I can only connect using konqueror

I went ahead and added the exception so that it would accept the expired certificate until they get it replaced.

I did too. Of course, since there is no announcement, how do we know this is legitimate?

The certificate has been updated, means this problem is now fixed.

He's not a tech guy. I don't think they'd let him tinker with certificates :-)
