Firefox 3.6.20 was part of today's Ubuntu update but Virgin have also
fixed their certificate.  Both version 3.6.18 and 3.6.20 now load the
Virgin page without error so it is reasonable to assume that the
certificate is fixed at Virgin.

I have no way of verifying when Firefox is fixed.  We need a site with a
known Invalid Digital Certificate.

Title:
  Firefox hangs on site with invalid certificate

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is similar to bug #331984 and others but in this case Firefox hangs (just the tab being used) and doesn't report anything.
  Using Firefox 3.6.18 on an up to date Ubuntu 10.10, when  accessing www.virginmedia.com and signing in you are redirected to https://my.virginmedia.com/home/index where it hangs.

  SeaMonkey 2.0.11 when accessing virgin media reports "Invalid Digital
  Certificate" and gives you the option of proceeding anyway.

  This is repeatable and I would expect Firefox to report the cause of
  the problem and give the option to proceed with an invalid
  certificate.

  I have reported the Digital Certificate error to Virgin media who
  weren't really interested.  The operative said I get something like
  that on Windows and IE9 but I just clicked OK to proceed!!!
