The following is the extended part of the error message : Technical Details 

         mc1610.mail.yahoo.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 13-Feb-12 5:30 PM. The current time is 09-Mar-12 1:06 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate) 

         I Understand the Risks
         
           If you understand what's going on, you

can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification. Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is tampering with your connection. 

           Don't add an exception unless

you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification.

Hi,

Please also try here: https://login.yahoo.com/

If the problem persists please try deleting the cert8.db file in the Firefox Profile Folder after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder in Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder, and exit Firefox.
