HTTPS issue with some (all?) websites.

I just I just updated to the latest version of Firefox for Android. When I tried to look for extensions, I got the error message: "This website requires a secure connection." That seems rather odd. I did this because my wife needs to register for access to the Social Security website using something called LOGIN.GOV. Quite a few government websites are using it when security is needed. But I got the same message when I tried to access LOGIN.GOV. We have a deadline for getting this done, so I guess we will have to follow the LOGIN.GOV people's suggestion and use Chrome.

By the way, I can't remember a website as confusing and incomplete as LOGIN.GOV. The Social Security website offers an alternative to LOGIN.GOV called ID.ME, I think that it started as a way for ex-military folks to get access to PX discount prices. When I signed up for it some time ago, I didn't think it was a model of clarity either.

I'm doing this post using Firefox for Windows, but the topic is Firefox for Android.

Hi Roger

What version number of Firefox for Android do you have installed?

What is the address of the website that you are trying to view?

I'm not sure how to see the version number in the Android product - couldn't find About. I upgraded it a couple of days ago from Google Play so I would have the latest version. Are the version numbers the same on all the platforms?

The website is LOGIN.GOV.

P.S. - It all worked pretty well with Chrome. I have no idea why.
