secure.newegg.com has an invalid certificate now???

Code: 
This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Waterfox to connect securely to secure.newegg.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

secure.newegg.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

What's up with this? Is anyone else getting this?

Edit: Using Waterfox 32.0.3 on Win7 64-bit HP SP1.

This appears to happen with both PC that have Waterfox 32.0.3.

I recall one of the security fixes was getting rid of root certs that used 1024-bit RSA instead of 2048-bit.

It appears that Newegg uses a "weak" cert, that newer browsers are trying to protect users from.

Edit: Alternate theory, that there is something materially wrong with their cert, if they just renewed it.
 
This appears to be fixed, and I'm still using the same web browser (Waterfox 32.0.3), so it appears that Newegg indeed had something wrong with their security certificate. (That IE blithely ignored, as usual.)
