Firefox behavior is different from Chrome and IE and I can't explain why.

At work there is an internal wiki that I can access fine using Firefox with the following url https://wiki/display/TEST but when I try the same url with either IE or Chrome I get a security error.

It works with all 3 browsers when I use the complete domain name: https://wiki.xyz.com/display/TEST

Why does Firefox "complete" the domain name but not the other two browsers?

Was Firefox set up to use keywords? Normally you need to have a hostname in the address to access a page. Is it so hard to put the hostname in? Why not just bookmark the page?

Do you mean a certificate invalidity error? If the error is that the certificate is for wiki.xyz.com and not for wiki, is it possible that an exception was saved in Firefox allowing the wiki server to use that certificate? You can review current certificate exceptions here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

Click the "Certificates" mini-tab, then the "View Certificates" button, to display the Certificate Manager dialog. In that dialog, click the "Servers" mini-tab. You can ignore the ones with * in the server column and look for your wiki. Any exception saved there?

Yes! I see a certificate issued for the internal server from GoDaddy? Was there an earlier exception that I ignored and forgot about? thanks for you help.

If there is an exception for that server (domain) under the Servers tab then try to remove this exception. Do not remove other exceptions unless you created them yourself. Some permanent exceptions are added by Firefox to disable untrusted certificates.
