Sorry for the OT, but I always get a certificate error when visiting that domain. Am I the only one?

http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=hacks.mo...

Says the cert is ok, but my firefox complains:

  hacks.mozilla.org uses an invalid security certificate.
  The certificate is only valid for tbpl.mozilla.org
  (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

Maybe there is something wrong with my network.

It's fine for me.

Update your browser - happens to me in IE8, but not Chrome 22. Certification verification is done by the browser, and I believe they store acceptable CA signers somehow, which is probably out dated.

Edit: Don't quote me, been a while since studying site certificates.

I have the latest ff: 16.0.2.

I even tried

  $ openssl s_client -connect hacks.mozilla.org:443
from a linode vm:

  CONNECTED(00000003)
