Hello Issac,
I just thought about it and tested a bit (before reading your last message).
I think that I made the mistake trying to access the site before importing
the CA certificate into my browser. So the browser asks me whether to trust
the certificate of my site. When I import the CA certificate in the
forefront of accessing the site the browser this question won’t come later.
I think I’ll stop here for today because I was busy on this for quite a long
time and my head feels a bit dizzy.
Tomorrow morning I’ll continue here and let you know about my progress.
All comments are welcome in the meanwhile.

best regards domi

PS: Again my thank to Issac. By the way you wrote
<You can change your opinion any time you like; just access Firefox's
certificate store and you can view the 
<certificates you've chosen to trust, and the revocation lists.
Where is this store or do you mean what you see under
settings-advanced-encryption in the browser? But I'm not able to see the
details of the CRL or is this possible?
An answer would be nice because (as I said) I'm too dizzy to search.
Otherwise I will search tomorrow one my own.
