I have used a web site for "umpteen" years with no problems. Now I have to go through the "Site Identity Button protocol" every time to get to the site. How to eliminate this problem and make the elimination the "default" when I go to that site. The site is not a small web but the Cable Vision optimum.net site.

Your best option may be to contact the site, and raise your concerns that you are seeing genuine warnings that the site is not secure.

I would start worrying. The site appears likely to have sensitive or financial information and so should be fully secure. It is not meeting the highest standards and so is generating warnings from browsers.

If the site does not improve soon there is a possibility it will fall below the standard at which future versions of Firefox will allow you to connect with the site. (In particular the use of RC4 that's been broken since 2013 I think. The pre Release fx38 does not connect *)

This is a report from a respected and trusted site assessing the technical security of the cable site
