Blog Owners Seeing "This Connection Is Untrusted"

We are seeing a few blog owners reporting, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue, of inability to use various dashboard functions.
I am seeing
"This Connection Is Untrusted" - You have asked Firefox to connect securely to 7749195048983246407_73be54cd6d1c58526e719a5edd6d94a945570409.blogspot.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
This prevents me from using various preview features.
We suspect that the problem involves the Firefox browser, possibly following the latest update.

We have a new Problem Rollup topic, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue, where we are requesting details from everybody who is experiencing this problem.

Right now, the problem appears to involve Firefox V36, and attempts to use Live Preview (Template Designer), Post Preview, and Template Preview (Template Editor), when updating blogs published to custom domains. The simplest solution, in this case, may be to un install V36.
(Update 3/6): Mozilla may have fixed this, in V36.0.1.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.
