I am getting a "Performing a tls handshake" when I'm trying to view a webpage. How can I fix this?
I have Firefox 63.0.1 64 bit using Win 7. After the latest update, I frequently get the "performing a tls handshake" when trying to view a webpage. After 7 to 8 minutes I get a message saying "Secure Connection Failed. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." I've researched this problem and haven't come up up with an answer as to how to correct this. Does anyone know how to correct this?

I have Avast security software installed. I followed the instructions under: “Troubleshoot the Secure Connection Failed error message Security software conflict AVAST and AVG security products” I went into the Avast settings, then into Components. On Customize, I unchecked the ‘Enable HTTPS Scanning’. It worked. I can now view webpages again almost instantaneously. Thank you for your help.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

Avast fixed that a while back. Are you running the latest Avast? Avast does not recommend leaving HTTPS un-scanned.

Yes, I have the latest version of Avast.
I sent a message to Avast technical support explaining the problem and the fact that I disabled HTTPS Scanning.
Abbreviated message to Avast: "Since Avast doesn’t recommend leaving HTTPS un-scanned, can you offer me a solution to this?"
I am waiting to see what they say.
Thank you for the information you provided.
Avast told me to repair and update Avast security in the Control Panel. I did that, then re-started my computer. I then enabled HTTPS scanning in Avast. It seems to work now. I can view webpages without getting the 'performing a tls handshake' and then getting the message 'secure connection failed'. I posted a picture of the Avast settings, with some notes on how I got to the main settings window. Thank you pj.
That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

So, your Avast was out-of-date and/or you had to 'Repair' Avast?
