Every time I start Firefox and every now and then (several times an hour) I get this pop up: "Secure Connection Failed" "us.data.toolbar.yahoo.com:443 uses an invalid certificate" "The certificate will not be valid until 6/3/2010 9:21 PM" I have to click cancel several times to close the window - I'm on the firefox help page, I'm on msn.com, I'm on espn.com - How can I get this to stop????

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Ya know...I thought it was my computer for some reason. I have been off line for months until last night when that window kept showing up for every frequently, visited site. Maybe it stopped because I restored my computer to more than a month ago but I really feel I just upgraded my Yahoo msg. Although I rarely use it the "Secure Connection Failed" has not appeared. Hmm I'll re-start my comp and see what happens. ~Arby
