sec_error_bad_signature vs. sec_error_untrusted_issuer

When attempting to visit my SSL secured server (which uses a self-signed cert) on my local network, I get sec_error_bad_signature with no further usable information. However, when visiting my router config page, which also uses a self-signed cert, I get sec_error_untrusted_issuer which allows me to make an exception.

Is there any way to get a more verbose and useful error message from Firefox so I can figure out exactly why Firefox 3.6 will allow me to accept one self-signed cert while not allowing me to accept another?

the same, want to know reason and solution. thanks.

What worked for me was to use a self-signed certificate, instead of using a certificate that was signed by some other self-signed certificate.
