Known issue - latest review says
  It turned out that there was a lot more than just this preference
broken in v1.8.2 ;@)
  Anyone using v1.8.2 should either rollback to an earlier version or
install the new build v1.8.3.

I was about ready to revert to FF 3.6.17 to see if that made any
difference.  Thanks for the confirmation that it wasn't just my
install that had a problem!

I haven't been able to find a site where the certs change, but at
least with 1.8.3 I get a popup about a new cert
