I am trying to run some tests around these issues so If you do have any
tests that should be done I would be very happy to test the issues.
And I searched couple other things and it is not clear yet what is the
reason for all but the next firefox extention helps a lot:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/skip-cert-error/
It has an option to aviod Specific certs which are trusted if the rootCA
certificate was not compromosied yet... as a fact.
This is one reason to renew the certs every once in a while.
