Not sure how much it will help, as the bots were able to create accounts 
by solving the captcha. HTTPS is no longer something hard to get in any 
application. So far so good with the new system, no spammer got that 
familiar with Kamailio modules :-), but there were few new valid accounts.

You actually need to fix Firefox -- I struggled yesterday a bit with 
same situation. The certificate is actually new, generated yesterday and 
signed by CACert.org. The previous one was selfsigned, from openser 
times, expired for few years.

I had to try other browsers to check if works, because Firefox was 
displaying some error. Then I went back to stable channel from beta 
channel without any success, even removing the old certificate from 
firefox preference. To solve it, I cleared the cache.

Let me know if works for you in the same way.

Cheers,
Daniel
