Firefox 3.0, released not too long ago, was generally well-received. It added a load of new features, while also providing much-needed speed improvements and better memory management. Some new features, however, have met more resistance - one of them is the rather complicated user interface thrown at users when they reach a website with an invalid or expired SSL certificate.

Luckily for you, you CAN afford a certificate from a verified CA. startcom offers free SSL certificates via http://www.startssl.com/ and it is recognised by Firefox.
Unfortunately, not many people know about this.
(Hopefully, CAcert will be recognised soon too, but that may not be soon enough for most people.)
EDIT: Unfortunately, startcom is not recognised as a valid SSL authority by other browser vendors (Microsoft IE, maybe Opera and Apple too), so it may not be a good fit.
