I use Firefox 3 which has a new feature to remember certificate exceptions. The strange part is, for my servers I get the warning when attempting to login via whm or cpanel and I always add the exception *permanently* like this:
https://ipaddress:2087 (example)
I still get the prompt later on the day on a new firefox session. Not sure why. Its very annoying. Basically, it never remembers the exceptions I've added permanently.
I confirmed this by going to options > advance > encryption tab > view certificates section. They were all missing.
The warning itself....

Secure Connection Failed
serverip:2087 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate is only valid for server.domain.com
(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
Or you can add an exception…
