Oh, that's amusing. Your browser is implicitly suggesting that someone might be trying a man-in-the-middle attack on you. Are you at an airport or some other public place? I constantly have to guard against government controlled access points trying to compromise my certificate chains so they can sniff all my traffic. However browser distributions are onto this tactic and will usually give you an opportunity to say, hey wait a minute here...
