Is it possible to change SSL certificate without restarting Firefox 12

Is it possible to change SSL certificate without restarting Firefox 12 My current workplace needs two different SSL certificates for a single particular website. It depends on what we do and what we are going to do. So there is always a need to keep changing the SSL certificate and each time I need to restart the browser in order to switch the SSL certificates. Restarting the Firefox is really unproductive because there are lots of things going on in browser and lots of things are open/running. I use several different tabs/windows. If I restart the firefox, I will lose all information/progress. Otherwise I need to wait for 20 minutes for certificate to time out and then Firefox will ask us to choose the certificate. This really won’t work all the time and really an asinine solution. Is there any way to force the Firefox to change certificates without restarting the browser when the website is currently in use?

I think that you should either remove all the history or the single website from my history. In order to remove this, click on the Firefox button on top of the windows and go the History menu> Show All History to open the Library. Now there, search for a website which you want to remove from the history. Right click and select Remove or Delete. It will remove all the items (browsing and download history, cookies, cache, active logins, passwords, saved form data, exceptions for cookies, images, pop-ups) of that site. Now when you refresh the current windows or site, it will ask for new certificate to install. Choose yours and continue with it.

Before it recognized neither Mint nor other certification or forty thousand, which is nothing new. If, as said above, it will add to the perfect Mint, good for them, but I think that this complaint is rather a tantrum because they now get a popup (with all due respect) and to ignore the message (still allowing it but you have to add an exception). For me it has improved, and pretty.

On the other hand, SSL management seems very good (more strict than IE), and therefore advise against all faults SSL confirm that appear as exceptions, because then we'll get used to accept invalid certificates. I've found people complaining that the browser will not let them make trades when they were not really understanding the implications of the error that the browser was showing them. Reply With Quote
