Fix "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch" Warning in Firefox
If you encounter this error message as often as I do, you will thank your various gods for this extension, which allows you to hide the warning message on a per site basis, for both Firefox as well as Thunderbird.
Here's the default Firefox warning message… so irritating.
And here's the same warning message once the extension is installed. This is the last time I saw this error for this particular bookmark.
The extension will also allow you to hide the message for expired certificates as well. You can delete the remembered domains in the extension's options panel.

Cool tip, I have been seeing this error quite a lot of time while using the url for Google adsense where i typed http://google.com/adsense instead of http://www.google.com/adsnse.
Now i will definitely be able to solve this errors i have been seeing.
Hey, thanks a lot for posting this bit of info. I recently tried switching all my IMAP accounts on thunderbird over to using SSL encryption. I then got inundated with this domain name mismatch errors every time I checked my mail for the first time after starting TB. I though there must be a way to hide these messages.
I did a search on Google and a link to this blog entry was at the top of the list. Everything in the results looked unrelated. So yes, I am thanking my various Gods for both the extension and for your mentioning it here.
Cheers,

I had this problem with Firefox. I could not access my Yahoo email because of the error. I hired Ken to try to fix the problem. After about 45 minutes he found that the problem was with the new Firefox mail view. Switched back to Classic view for mail and the problem went away.
Note that this same extension works for Thunderbird as well. I'm using it there.
