I have a windows 10 desktop. I use several different browsers including Firefox. When online and searching for a site, I choose only https//: sites. However, I am getting an unsecure warning when I click on them. It opens the sites in private mode so why do they not open in regular search mode? Also sometimes when I am in a https//: site I trust & have been to before, the links receive an unsecure warning too. How do I fix this?

Without sample URL of sites with error no one is going to know what is happening.

it seems like your antivirus is blocking the pages in my opinion

You will have to take this to uBlock Origin support as this host is part of a filter list you have installed in this extension that blocks this website.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
