Ubuntu

getting error code ssl_error_bad_cert_domain

Asked by miss eirwen roberts

I think the security certificate has expired on 13/03/2015. How can I restore a valid certificate so that I can access websites safely? I can access websites as it is by cancelling the error message, but it keeps reappearing after a few seconds and I am sure it cannot be satisfactory to be operating without a valid security certificate. I use Firefox and the message details command centersmarterfox.com. iI have tried googling this name and I get as far as a message saying waiting for smarterfox but nothing came up after an hour . I would like to extend the validity pertiod of the certicate for as long as possible into the future . -

Thank you for your reply. I cannot answer your question because I do not know what it means because I do not have ..the necessary expertise. Will contact again when I have acquired more knowledge.
Thanks. No disrespect intended.

When you do Ctrl Alt T a terminal will come up. Check site below for more information.

Alternate way to enter terminal is at this site. Just watch the way he gets into terminal, you don't need the rest of the video now.
