Every site I go to now after your latest update gives me the following error message including YOURS:

Your connection is not secure

The owner of www.mozilla.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

hi bmetgod, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a solution depends on the individual circumstances:

  • what is the error code shown when you click on advanced on that error page?
  • please also give us more information about the error by clicking on the error code, copying the text to the clipboard and then pasting it here into a reply in the forum.

thank you!
