hi.
as i see no message about this issue here (noone use pidgin ?), i wanted to share my findings about this issue.
since the last upgrade to pidgin 2.5.8, i got "ssl certificate error for login.live.com" with pidgin. last night, i let my pc runnning and in the morning i got 100 of these windows error opened!
so it's a known bug already fixed that will be in the next release (soon ?) http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9360
in the mean time, the trick is to use NSS_ALLOW_WEAK_SIGNATURE_ALG=1 environment variable to change the behavior of the nss library. if you really want to stay on the really secure side of things you might not want to use this.
so i made a little script like this
#!/bin/sh
NSS_ALLOW_WEAK_SIGNATURE_ALG=1 exec /usr/bin/pidgin "$@"
and place it inside my ~/bin directory

I had the same problem, and restarting Pidgin seems to have fixed it... I've just run -Syu so perhaps it's been fixed and updated in the repos?

At all, alias is much better choosing for it like a script, because it's so short.
