smriti, I assume you are here because you are a tester or a software developer. If that is true, you must have some experience logging bugs in a bug tracking system. I suspect you have found it useful, when you log bugs or when you read others' bug reports, to include details about the bug's circumstances, e.g. the version of the software and the type and version of the browser, so that the bug can be reproduced. Similarly, when you post questions like the one above to this forum, please try to include the same kind of details, because it will encourage people to help you. – user246 Jul 29 '11 at 12:44

This is a legitimate question, and a frequently asked question among Selenium users. Nonetheless, I am downvoting it because I do not believe the OP put sufficient effort into researching it. A Google search of "Selenium SSL" will reveal many articles about ways to deal with this issue. – user246 Jul 29 '11 at 12:58
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will take this suggestion in logging my query in future. I have edited my query. Thanks again!+1 – smriti Jul 31 '11 at 13:26

Some options for Firefox include:
