After doing the refresh on Firefox I now get this on a lot of sites:

The owner of support.mozilla.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. support.mozilla.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

or

The owner of www.facebook.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate. www.facebook.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

so I'm forced to use Chrome to report this and do my browsing.

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