Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I have been using Firefox for many years and also have Bitdefender Security Premium running on my devices. Unfortunately, I am getting more and more messages like the following:

Function: Online threat protection

firefox.exe attempted to connect to ads.mozilla.org using an untrusted certificate. We blocked the connection because untrusted certificates are issued by unrecognised certification authorities.

However, I can confirm that Firefox and the add-ons are all up to date. But I also trust Bitdefender, as this message will not have come out of nowhere. What can I do to get everything working properly again? Thank you. Kind regards, NaIch

'I was sent a link that goes to a learning site by my future employer to take some online classes via email. Every time I try to access the site I get a message that I need to close the page as the website may be impersonating someone trying to steal my information. I use Safari, not that I have a clue what it means, is this a restriction issue I need to avoid or sidestep like a firewall or something similar? I tried typing the web address and the HR office says not to do that - to only use the link. How can I check what’s wrong so that I can take access the online classes for this position?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Below mentioned issue occuring ???

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to finance.jharkhand.gov.in. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

finance.jharkhand.gov.in 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.

when I go into firefox and enter my password this is what I see.
