   My take on that is the (copy of) the signer's certificate is expired.   
      
   I'm not getting any errors when accessing the page so I doubt it's an   
   actual certificate issue at Wikipedia's end.

   I don't think so.  At least not as such.   
      
   The link that I saw was for a /Microsoft/ update.  Remember that Firefox   
   uses the Netscape Security Suite (NSS).  And that the NSS and   
   Microsoft's counterpart are two different things.  So an update to the   
   latter, quite likely won't have any influence on the former, or vice versa.
