What does the message Certificate not Authorized when trying to get into a website?
If a website is using certification to prove that the owner of the website is who he claims to be, and that the source has been verified, it means that an external organization (proved to be reputable and generally trustworthy, like VeriSign among others) has taken its time to verify this information and is indeed saying that what says in the certificate is true.
This organization is usually considered a CA - Certificate Authority. Whenever you are trusting an encrypted connection protected by a certificate, you are essentially trusting in that the Certificate Authority that issued this certificate has gone to lengths to prove the correctness of the information. It is a method of validating the source of incoming data.
A certificate can expire (as they have an expiration date), or it can be revoked by the Certificate Authority. This particular message means that this certificate is not authorized by the CA, which means that it may have expired, may have been forged, may be used without permission from the CA, or information contained within it may not coincide with the information your computer receives from the other side of the link. You would need to read the specific details of this error message (usually provided at the click of a button), in order to know which case it is.
While anyone can become a Certificate Authority with the right tools, not everyone is as trustworthy, therefore it is important to carefully read statements pertaining to certificates installed and verified on your computer.
Remember that the Certification mechanism is designed to provide a measure of trust on-line, and your belief of trust is the ultimate tool and the ultimate protection - if you believe you're being lied to, reject/decline the certificate.
Also, remember that if you are working within a company network (or some other private network), a network or security administrator may enforce the use of a local CA to sign and secure network communications - even though this will raise security exceptions in your programs (because the local CA is not known globally to be 'trustworthy'), follow the guidelines set forth by this person, as they know what they are doing.

How do you fix Firefox certificate errors?
The "invalid security certificate" errors are problems with the website you are visiting, not Firefox. The site is supposed to present a security certificate to demonstrate that it is safe and secure. If the site has no certificate, an unlocked lock appears at the bottom of the screen. If the site has a certificate, and it is valid, a locked lock will appear at the bottom. If the site has a security certificate, but it is wrong / outdated, then Firefox will warn you that someone might be trying to deceive you. You can bypass the message by clicking the "Add an exception" button, and then retrieving the certificate and viewing it.
