[ale] getting Untrusted connection on one system but not the other?

I'm getting more confused about this. When I use the Certificate Manager
in FF and look under Servers on the broken system under Entrust.net
contains both Digisign Server ID and Entrust.net Certification Authority
(2048). The 2nd one is the one mentioned when I go through the motions
of allowing an override and is what the viewed certificate shows as the
issuing authority and selecting to edit shows that it is trusted.

The good system does not have this entry at all. So what gives, I'm lost.
