Can't access GUI after renew device cert [Firefox]

Hi

 

 

I've a problem with Firefox

 

I renew a device certificate because old cert is expired. after that I can't access GUI via Firefox

 

 

When I click add exception , It didn't allow me to click confirm exception. (and status of certificate is old cert that I already renew )

 

 

I tried upgrade Firefox , delete certificate in browser , nothing good

 

 

How to fix this please?

 

Thank you

    I have found, on some versions of Firefox, that it tends to work if I import the BIG-IP's default GUI certificate (localhost.localdomain) into the Authorities section in the Certificate Manager.

    Delete your browser's cache, so it wont know about the old cert and mismatch it with the new one.

    You can delete the cert cache to fix this. It's a Firefox bug. I think this is the correct one:

     

     

    Bug 660749 - (CVE-2011-0082) Firefox doesn't (re)validate certificates when loading a HTTPS page from the cache

     

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660749

     

     

    I use a Firefox addon called Perspectives, which among other things, works around the bug:

     

     

    Connect securely to https websites by checking certificates with network notaries. See http://www.perspectives-project.org
