Most of cases that would be your anti-virus or security software poking its nose into the private connection, and mucking up the results — in a way it can't be trusted any longer.

If you attach a screen shot with the exact error message and any "advanced" sections exapanded, it may explain more.

In general, it's covered in: Secure connection and security warning error pages in Firefox
