How do I disable invalid SSL certificate warning on my browser?

For disabling invalid SSL error, first, open Google Chrome and type chrome://flags into the address bar and hit the Enter button. Once the flags screen open, look for #allow-insecure-localhost. The “Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost” option will come up.

Why does my browser keep asking for certificates?

The “There is a problem with this website's security certificate” error may occur due to the enabled “Warn about certificate address mismatch” option. To check that and disable this option, you have to: Right-click Windows key and open Control Panel. Select Internet Options and open Advanced tab.

No, you cannot. Other people answering this question, please read it more closely. He wasn't asking how to add an exception, or fix a broken certificate. He wanted to TURN OFF THE CHECK COMPLETELY.

The Mozilla people erred on the side of caution by making this impossible. On the one hand it's annoying, but on the other hand, their security mindset is one of the reasons Firefox is so much safer than IE.

If you want to make exceptions just a little bit easier, type "about:config" in the address bar (no quotes), and type browser.ssl_override_behavior into the Filter, double-click the "Value", and change it to "2". Now exceptions require one less click.

check out the perspective firefox addon. It makes firefox 3 automatically accept self-signed certificates.
