The confusion of SSL gets worse by the day.
I'm running Firefox 36.0.4 on OS X 10.8.5. I see a "grey warning triangle" using Mozilla parlance. Clicking on that says "the connection to this website is not fully secure ...".
Firefox refuses to show me Intel's certificate at all. It does say "This website does not supply identity information".
How is an average user to know what to do if even a single application, e.g. Firefox, presents different messages to different users? IMO the message you received: "cannot guarantee the safety of your data" is much different than the one I got: "not fully secure". So which is it, and what is the difference?
Bah. Right now I switch to a separate OS X user for my banking and credit card sites. But it's probably better to devote an entire computer (not a VM) to access just those few sites. It's 2015 and things are worse and more confusing than ever.
