Anyone having an error accessing Thesaurus.com on Firefox?
It's been happening for a couple of days now. I am able to open Thesaurus.com on Safari and Chrome, but on Firefox I get the error "Your connection is not secure," and it doesn't allow me on the site at all. Anyone else having this issue? This would normally be a website error, but since I'm able to get to the page on other Internet browsers, it seems it's a Firefox issue. Please let me know if anyone has found a "fix." Thanks.

This can happen if you try to access a website via a secure HTTPS connection and the website doesn't have a certificate installed like in this case. If you have an extension that forces a secure connection then you need to add an exception.
Can you access the website via this link?
Clear the cache and remove the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).
"Clear the cache:
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
