I have a very, very old version of SME Server (an email server Linux live-distro that turns a spare machine into an email netpliance thingy), which has an included web-interface for all its configuration and fo stuff like issuing a restart commmand, and I had to install Palemoon awhile back because all the other browsers I have stopped supporting that system's archaic web-certificates system, which uses self-generated, self-signed certs. I am on the latest version of Palemoon, 31.1.0, on Windows 10 Pro 64bit, and I can still get the old certificate to be accepted by telling Palemoon to ignore the security concerns. (The machine is literally sitting under my desk, on a LAN, so I'm not expecting any man-in-the-middle attacks from inside my own house!
) Usually I got to the interface page via the local address 192.168.1.5, or maybe by the designated local-machine-name Server (though I haven't navigated to it in awhile by that latter means).
Anyway, today, having fired up Palemoon to do something else, I decided to take a quick glance at the status of that machine... having in the meantime let be installed the 31.1.0 update to Palemoon.... I then got the usual warning message that the certificates were suspicious (since the machine generates a new self-signed cert every time its restarted), I told it to make an exception for this site like I usually do... and when I'm redirected to the login page, I now instead get:
Code: Select all

...and nothing else except the web-interface's product-logo banner graphic at the top. No login prompt or password prompt, just that error in plain black text against a plane white background under the product logo graphic. It all worked fine the last time I used this, some while back, when I originally installed Palemoon to get to the web-interface again. I appear to have cookies enabled for that site, according to the browser's Permissions Manager page, where it shows Store Cookies and Site Date set to Allow and to Use Default, but that also tells me it has 0 cookies set for that website. It also doesn't appear to be storing the certificates for that site, when I look at it in Preferences > Cetificates > Certificates Manager> Servers is shows (Not Stored) for the server, but DOES show Permanent under the Lifetime column for it, with Expires On showing blank.
What am I doing wrong here?
