firefox is blocking one of my facebook favorite pages due to false certificate so what can I do?
When I try to look at the "Celebrity Cruises" Facebook page a Firefox yellow box is there and says it is an invalid certificate and to "get me out of here". Celebrity has not blocked me because I can see the page on my mobile devices. I can also see the page if I open it up from google without logging into Facebook. How can I get rid of this so I can see the page when logged in? Facebook's security and help is too confusing. I tried to report it to them.

I see the same if I open the link via a secure HTTPS connection:
Try to open the page via the HTTP protocol instead. If you can't do that then make sure that you do not have an extension that forces the HTTPS protocol.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks, I did this and apparently there was a private message for me asking me to "Like" their page. I had been posting on it without "Liking it" and my thread caused a lot of debate about cruises and crew so I deleted it. They didn't block me because it wasn't warranted, but they wanted me to "Like" their page to post. I did this after seeing the private message and the page came back up.
