<p>I normally get to meta.stats.SE by either typing "meta." in the address bar or by clicking a link to meta in the sidebar - which might link to say <code>http://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/?cb=1</code></p>

<p>But today I picked the link in the 'help' drop down in the menu bar on CV, which goes to:</p>

<pre><code>https://meta.stats.stackexchange.com/
</code></pre>

<p>and got this (in Firefox):</p>

<pre><code>This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to meta.stats.stackexchange.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.
meta.stats.stackexchange.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is 
only valid for the following names: 
  *.stackexchange.com , stackexchange.com , meta.stackexchange.com , 
  *.meta.stackexchange.com , *.stackoverflow.com , stackoverflow.com , serverfault.com , 
  stackauth.com , sstatic.net , meta.serverfault.com , superuser.com , 
  meta.superuser.com , stackapps.com , openid.stackauth.com 
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
</code></pre>

<p>Is this a problem my end or did somehow the site omit including this meta in its certificate?</p>

<p>Edit: I've just noticed different behaviour on CV itself - MathJax is still rendering fine when using <code>http:</code> to access CV but isn't working when I click any links that use <code>https:</code>; I wonder if that's related</p>

<p>One thought I've just had is this might perhaps be being impacted in some way by me running noscript in Firefox, but I've been running it for ages and never had this before.</p>

<hr>

<p>Second Edit: This is weird. Now when I click the link in the 'help' menu in the bar at the top, it simply shows as <code>meta.stats.stackexchange.com</code> again and so works fine. If I type 'https:' in (as the link was going to before), it still gives the warning.</p>

<p>Since the main issue (clicking the link in the pull down 'help' menu generates the certificate warning) is no longer there, if it doesn't generate a response I may just delete this question soon.</p>

<hr>

<p>(I included the tag <code>bug</code> since it seems to cover any unexpected site behavior, even though this may well be just my own issue.)</p>
