It's likely to be something with ciphers and those stupid acadamic 
exploits in all caps like WHOLE, SLAMMER or SLAYER. The problem is nobody 
really gives a fuck either way and the error messages generated by firefox 
are 1) meaningless 2) stupid 3) try to shift "blame" somewhere else.

The correct message firefox should display on a site like that is show the 
fucking content or if you need an error state

- we're completely fucking retarded and you are too for using this broken 
browser.

commercial wildcards are pretty dumb. They even cap them too. If you want 
say 10 subdomains of *.whatever.biz you have to pay for that, and then pay 
more if you want 50 subdomains of that. Not sure how they count them 
though, or if it's some type of honesty deal when you deal with a ripoff 
cert provider.
