You can access one search engine but not another? Is the one you can access a regular site like https://www.google.com/ or https://www.yahoo.com/ or is it something custom that might have been installed by an add-on?

Which of the security errors are you getting:

• Secure Connection Failed
• This Connection is Untrusted

If you are getting a partial page load with the orange "!" triangle in the address bar, do you recall making any security exceptions for the site?
