Geotrust SSL not trusted by Firefox

If you've renewed or bought a Geotrust SSL certificate in the last month or so, a few people have reported that Firefox is treating it as 'not trusted'. This includes me: I'm talking to my web host right now, but thought I would give other Geotrust users a heads up.

In fact I've had protracted problems with buying/installing my SSL certificate. I had a free trial running, but as soon as I tried to pay with real money, all hell broke loose lol

Strange. I've got one about 6 months ago from Godaddy and it seems to be working quite well.
I do notice that sometimes Firefox throws a warning about not being secure, but it is a phantom message due to non-secure content on the page.

Yeah, I think only newly issued certificates are affected, as far as I can tell.
From reading a few forum postings, it seems a new intermediate root certificate/ ca bundle /whatever is required, as from 22 July 2010. I hope that'll fix it.

Took a day or so, but luckily my host has fixed it now. Phew!
I found a couple of links where you can check your SSL cert, especially useful if you're getting some weird errors. Also useful just to check if all's well:
