So a couple of days ago, I started getting these "security exception" tabs popping up and asking permission to view certain sites' content, including bf2s. I googled around and, according to the first search result, this is due to a Firefox Addon. When I clicked the link, I got the same message:

"Secure Connection Failed


addons.mozilla.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate will not be valid until 9/19/2008 12:09 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

   

    * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

    * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later."
which is fail because the Firefox addon won't let me access Firefox's main site. Whatever. What's weird is that I've used Firefox for ages now and have never experienced this in the past. I have never intentionally downloaded any Firefox addons or shit like that, ever.

What's even more strange is that since this started happening, I can't seem to log in to MSN messenger (everything else works fine, Steam, games, etc). I can access the blocked sites after I manually add "exceptions" via "get certificate" button provided by the addon.

Any ideas why this is going on??

Reinstall FF, perhaps?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

check your system time too
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

That should do it. I just remembered I had messed around with the time on my system.

Still doesn't explain why MSN doesn't work : /

it does.... much about security handshaking relies on system times to be accurate within a few minutes of each other.  timestamps on security tickets help keep them from being intercepted, altered, and relayed back to the original server.
