I created a self signed certificate for local testing. The certificate generates an error in firefox and chrome saying:



myPC:443 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

(Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)


The certificate is self signed, but it's also in my trusted certificate store.



As a result, I would expect firefox and chrome to trust it because by adding it to my trusted certificate store I have declared it's legitimate.



However, they don't, and I am not sure if this is standard behaviour (that the browsers ignore the trusted store) or if it is a genuine configuration problem with my certificate.



It is ok in Internet Explorer.



Any ideas?

          Have you added the self-signing "CA"'s certificate to Firefox's and Chrome's certificate, or just the self-signed cert itself? sec_error_ca_cert_invalid implies that the browser is trying to follow the certificate chain up to the CA cert and failing; if you create a self-signing "CA" (as e.g. here), and then import its root certificate into Firefox and Chrome, they should be able to match the self-signed cert up with its root "CA" cert, and you should no longer have the issue.
