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

[Jim Kinney]

in firefox: edit->preferences->advanced->encryption->view certs->authorities

This problem is getting the new CA cert fro the signing chain for state
farm.

It may be easier to remove firefox and then rename your account's local
firefox folder then reinstall firefox, launch it as you and then merge back
in your prefs and bookmarks.

*Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
