Since up date on 3rd Nov, I have been having problems. I cannot make a google search or open Facebook as I get an insecure certificate notice. However, I am able to open other https sites, such as Hotmail. I have tried adjusting the clock, rebooting.

In addition, all the web pages and passwords saved in options have disappeared. I have relied on this for storing my passwords.

Thank you. I have cleared cookies and cache with your support. Express doing this, I found that my passwords had reappeared. I am still getting messages about security to searches: Your connection is not secure. The owner of this website has configured their website improperly.
