I guess that wasn't a problem with earlier versions of Calibre or the plugins on Windows 7 because they always seemed to work using Firefox

So I turned on IE and went to the Goodreads and Fantastic Fiction websites and then tried the plugins and they worked.
I then turned IE back off just to see if the plugins would still work and they do, if they stop working in the future, I'll turn IE back on.
The point is that calibre and the plugin are using a certificate authority store that is part of the OS. The MS browsers use this and will update it when there are changes on the sites. The other browsers, Firefox, Chrome and anything else, use there own certificate authorities and maintain them in a separate location.
