I can open google.co.nz and get to the homepage. When I try to do a search, I get an Untrusted Connection error.

When I try to add an exception, I view the certificate and it comes from google. Firefox's error message then tells me the site has a valid, verified certificate and there is no need to add an exception. The "confirm exception" and "permanently store exception" options are grayed out so cannot be clicked.

When I go back to google, I get the same Untrusted Connection error.

It may happen when your Computer Clock is not set properly, check with it and synchronise your Clock with internet Time

That's a seriously random cause and effect...

but not the case, "this computer is set to automatically synchronise with time.windows.com"
