A HTTPS server I'm browsing uses an invalid certificate. I want my machine to ignore this error and think that the certificate is valid. How to do that?

It will depend on each browser. Your server has a certificate, but each browser will display that this certificate was generated by an unknown authority.
Personally, I run a private cloud which is accessible only within my network. I know that it communicates with a secure connection and that the certificate was self generated by the server. Knowing this, I know that my connection is still encrypted but is not authorized/verified with a known agent. I will always get these errors.
However, it is not a good idea to disable the error/warning as that is no different than removing your Check Engine light bulb. Hides the problem but does not solve your root issue.
Firefox:
This part will allow you to add the exception for the certificate and not display this information again while keeping the connection secured.
What about in Firefox 51? I don't see the "I understand the Risks" link any more. I've searched the world over for a way to add an exception. – bgmCoder – 2017-03-01T17:10:27.150
I know this, I don't want to simply avoid this message. I want the machine to trust the invalid certificate. – Jader Dias – 2012-01-02T20:14:37.540
If you use Firefox, it will install the certificate as described above. – kobaltz – 2012-01-02T20:22:09.230

– Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2012-01-02T20:09:33.227Disabling certificates is not a solution. You're leaving yourself open to expired certificates, an attacker trying to intercept communications and/or tampering with your internet connection. It is better to accept the invalid certificate only if you know and trust as to why this is happening. – kobaltz – 2012-01-02T20:13:45.640
1@kobaltz I don't want to disable all certificate checking, just this one – Jader Dias – 2012-01-02T20:15:28.803
correct, see my answer below. – kobaltz – 2012-01-02T20:17:13.980
