I don't believe that installing the 'mozilla' package will
install the -psm package by default. ... You can confirm
this by running 'apt-cache showpkg mozilla-browser' and
looking at the 'Depends' line:

Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.9.0), libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.2.1), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0-0pre6ubuntu4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.6.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.6.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.8.1), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxp6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxrender1, libxt6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), libnspr4 (= 2:1.7.6-1ubuntu2), debconf (>= 1), psmisc

There's a separate package for the PSM:

mozilla-psm - The Mozilla Internet application suite - Personal Security Manager (PSM)

Try installing that and seeing what happens. Or maybe you
already did?

It doesn't look like there's a -psm package corresponding to
Firefox, so it puzzles me a bit that you're getting this
error in Firefox. So I'd suggest

1) Try visiting the same site that you've been trying to
visit, only this time make sure you have mozilla-psm
installed first; then

2) Try visiting a different HTTPS site in Firefox.

See what happens and let us know.

Cheers,
Steve
