I am getting the below message when trying to log into the EFTPS site. I have never had this issue before.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.eftps.gov because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.eftps.gov 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.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I read the The Times in the UK and have no problem viewing on my iPad and Google Pixel phone using the Firefox browser. However on my laptop using Firefox I get a screen that says Secure connection failed and recommends contacting the vendor as there is no workaround. On microsoft Edge there is no problem I like Firefox but for me this is a major limitation. Any ideas or suggestions welcome

I have been receiving several similar emails that disrupt my email use. How do I remove from my computer? Here's an example: An error occurred during a connection to 6yv5qzb7f8.boats. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

I am new to firefox customization. I need help to understand, how firefox picks up CA certificates from the global ca-certificates path in ubuntu and uses them in their own cert9.db

Currently, what I am trying is, If I have a rootCA certificate (which I generated using openssl), I want to keep it in a specific path, such that when firefox launches, it picks up that certificate and uses it. How can i achieve it.

I have tried using the policies.json, which works. But are there any other ways to achieve it?

I cannot get past the secure connection failed! I have cleared cookies, cache, etc. I have turned off the firewall, and restarted my computer more times that I can count....

Secure Connection FailedAn error occurred during a connection to nregade1.nic.in. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked.

You have not fixed the above where Firefox is attempting to connect to expired certificates!!!!!!! when putting the ads.mozilla.org in a tab it CRASHES...... You have a major security Breech taking place here. Please fix it with Humans and not AI responses.

Kind Regards, Charlotte

https://www.wrightbroslandscaping.com/ won't open, gives me "Secure Connection Failed" message. I want it to open anyway.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

usually I am given the option to open it anyway, but not on this page.

Just stop sending useless warnings about Australian Government Websites. The BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) provides weather information on request. It is a free service and does not require a subscription.

What can you do about it?

inbox.lv 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.

Dear all, can you please help? I am trying to login to my bank First Direct. When clicking on First Direct bookmark I receive a error message.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.firstdirect.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Will someone help me get over this? My contact email [edited email and phone# from community support forum] & on WhatsApp. Thanks Albert

I don't understand your philosophy of preventing someone from danger. If I am trying to log into my local router and your product says "no, its not secure" I am faced with at least two problems: First I am denied access to my equipment; and secondly, I am prevented from having control of my own decision-making as poor as it might be. It is especially annoying that your explanations are empty and vacuous, jargon-filled and full of misdirection, sending me into a world of data, not information, with the prospect of spending too much time on things I don't want to know. That seems more Microsoft than Mozilla. That is Mozilla as a consumer product, not Mozilla as an IT technologist.

Why can't you simply say we think its safer for you for us to block your request, but if you insist, do this. But beware, these are the possible consequences.

Please see below: for 2 instances that are occurring daily with firefox and should not be: firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to ads.mozilla.org

firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to ads.mozilla.org

It is a good thing that I have a good security system as Firefox is not doing its job. What is the problem? This is happening at least 60 to 100 times a day now. Kind Regards, Charlotte Sainz
