Hi,

Because of Mozilla security policy, more and more web sites become unreadable. Each time I have to copy paste the adress into another web crawler. As these sites are not going to be modified soon, endly, I think it will become impossible to use Firefox.

Is there any way to bypass the Firefox security system for websites in which I trust (Bank, Electricity supplier...) ? White list ?

If your not saving their certificate for authenticity then you can't get to their site and FF forums is not here to help you bypass security.

Did the site popup a windows asking to accept and save their security? Otherwise you need to contact them to get the certificate to save to FF options-Privacy&Security to permit you access.

I only get the message "Secure Connection Failed" bla bla. The support page says :"If you experience this problem, contact the owners of the website and ask them to update their TLS version to a version that is still current and still secure. "

2 problems :

  1. Élément de liste numérotée : the web site owners are big companies and they don't care of what a small user can say. Most of the times,there is even no web master contact link.
  2. Élément de liste numérotée : each week, a new web site is concerned. I cannot spend my time sending mails to web masters that will never answer.

This morning, the web site of my bank was working. Now, "Secure Connection Failed" !!!! And there is no popup windows asking to accept and save their security.

I think I will use another crawler.
