Permissions panel of the Page Info dialog does not show up. No Tab. Just General Media, & Security. A site is being blocked and I can't get in with Firefox.
Try to go to URL and get server not found. Go to page info and get message that site is not secure. (it is a government site). Go to page info papge with Tabs to fix, but Permissions Tab does not show up. Now What?

Thanks. I understand most of what you said. You are right it did not work on other browsers either. I did notify the send (I am on an EPA mailing list). He said it worked fine for him (an EPA contractor). I expect it is what you say, it is not available to the public. I appreciate your looking into it for me. Thanks, RAR

With a "Server not found" error, you cannot use the Page Info dialog to call up permissions for that server.
With a connection error, hmm, can you give the URL of the page you are trying to open?
What permission did you want to modify?? There isn't a permission setting related to whether Firefox accepts or rejects a site's SSL certificate.
Sorry thought I had included this. http://cfint.rtpnc.epa.gov/otop/biacoe/kb.cfm After I have entered the URL and hit the "go" button the "http://" part of the address disappears.
It's normal for Firefox not to show http in the address bar. It shows the other protocols (e.g., https) so you notice the difference.
I assume you have the same problem in Edge or other browsers on your system.
When I use an online utility to check whether there is an IP address assigned to that server, it doesn't find one:
; <<>> DiG 9 <<>> @localhost cfint.rtpnc.epa.gov A
; (1 server found)

It could be they moved its content, took it offline temporarily, or someone made a configuration error and needs to get a heads up. Or it could be that it's not publicly accessible and requires using a VPN or other authenticated method to access the server.
