vimeo

vimeo is blocked since i got the latest firefox update. it says

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to vimeo.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

vimeo.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

how can this be fixed

Hi brianbarry, that error page should have an "Advanced" button that shows more info and a code identifying the problem more specifically. Could you copy/paste that info?

Also, you can click View Certificate and compare the issuer information with what I see:

Issuer Name

Common Name: GlobalSign Atlas R3 DV TLS CA 2020

Does yours list a different issuer?

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for vimeo.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.uzone.id, uzone.id

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

Hmm, I don't know why vimeo is being pointed to uzone.id instead of the normal server.

Do you use a VPN service? If so, you could check whether turning that off makes a difference.

You also could check/change your Connection setting here:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Settings (previously "Options")
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Settings" button, which you can click.

The default of "Use system proxy settings" piggybacks on your Windows/IE "LAN" setting. "Auto-detect" can lead to a flaky connection. Try changing to "No proxy".

Any difference?
