 Replying to [comment:8 zep]:

 If I save the certificate from eff.org, that previously I wasn't able to
 acquire, and after that I manually install it , the result is the same.



 > OK things on my side are these:
 >
 > 1) I remove the file "cert_override.txt" & restart ff
 >
 >   It doesn't freeze anymore on add-ons/findupdate
 >
 > 2) I go on https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
 >
 >  ff show the message"insecure connection":(error:
 sec_error_unknown_issuer)
 >
 > It's the same for !https://secure.comodo.net/CPS
 >
 > 2.1) If I try to acquire the certificate(eff.org) I have the
 message:"Unknown identity".
 >
 > 2.2) I add a security exception I have this text in the file
 'cert_override.txt':
