If a site uses an encrypted connection by means of https, then there are the following two options avaliable to the site operator: Pay a sum of cash to a "recognized" corporation dealing in certification, which means that for money they hand out shiny "documents" of sorts that are sent to and recognized by the browser upon visiting the site, meaning no warning. Alternatively, they can opt not to pay for the blessings of such a company and make their own certificate.
If the latter, then due to the peculiar convention in place of sites generally deemed "trustworthy" paying for such certificates, browsers such as Firefox opt to display a warning if someone visits a place that self-signed a certificate instead.
However, if you trust a site with unencrypted transfers, there is no reason not to trust it with encrypted ones, the difference being that the latter are far less viable to eavesdrop on. Therefore, in order to "fix" this "issue", just use the option provided in the browser of adding a exception and keeping it, and the "error" will not recur with the site. (or, to always use unencrypted traffic, you can make sure to explicitly access a site such as SOTT with http://sott.net and not https://sott.net)
