i was using facebook until about 4 weeks ago. somehow it changed languages and while i was trying to put it back to english i was locked out.

this is part of the message i get

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.facebook.com because this website requires a secure connection.

www.facebook.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

Ever since I updated Firefox, my website has stopped loading properly. It works fine in Chrome and Edge, but in Firefox, I get a security warning page instead.

The message says:

Your connection is not secure

The website tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security. https://reminniapk.com/

uses security settings that might be outdated or not supported by Firefox, so the browser blocks it.

Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY

I haven’t made any major changes recently, so I’m not sure why this started happening. Is this something that needs to be fixed on the server side, or is there any setting in Firefox that could be causing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

418 For years, I've been using a website that's crucial to my professional work. It's a national archive website. Today, I suddenly got an error about a missing certificate for this website, and there's no way to bypass it. The cause isn't the archives, but the latest Firefox update. Please fix this immediately or refund me for the days I'm off work—or maybe I'll lose my job because of you.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Hello, I'm French and I'm not very good at English I’ve been a Mozilla user for many years and am very satisfied with it. I’m having trouble interacting with the Ohm Energie website. I wanted to sign up for an electricity plan. The Ohm Energie page opened fine in my browser, but as soon as I tried to interact with it—for example, to request a quote—I received the following security notification: “Firefox has detected a potentially serious security issue with espace-client.ohm-energie.com. Someone impersonating the site might try to steal things like credit card information, passwords, or email addresses.” I was forced to use Chrome to sign up for my plan. I’m not the only Firefox user facing this issue. I called Ohm Energie and was told that many other customers have also encountered this problem. I’d like to be able to access my Ohm Energie account via Firefox—what can I do? I should mention that I’m not very experienced in resolving this type of issue. Thank you for your help

I have a local Rocky Linux server running a nginx web server. I am using a Macos laptop. I am trying to install a self signed ssl certificate using openssl on my web server.. The certificate I generated works with Safari but not with Firefox. I have copied the certificate to both Safari and Firefox for local use. Privacy and Security, Manage Certificates, Your Certificates. Firefox complains that that my TLS is tls 1.1, when I am using tls 1.3:

An error occured during connection to tls-v1-1.badssl.com:1011. Peer using unsupported version of security protocol.

This happens on every site i try to visit. I am on a samsung phone running android version 15. Other browsers do not have this problem (i am sending this from opera), and firefox works fine on my other devices.

Just updated Firefox desktop (Win 10 with ESU) to 140.10.0ESR and now every site I try to access gives

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Sites were all working fine literally right before. No other changes at all. Have restarted a few times. Have disabled antivirus and adblocker extensions. Same problem including at google.com and even firefox. Note on the About Mozilla Firefox window says " Failed to check for updates". Also cannot even use the links there to go to What's new or Firefox help etc. (Gives Secure Connection Failed error). No proxy server. Have tried turning anti virus completely off. Just a combined modem/router -- basically vanilla.

Firefox is my primary browser so this is extremely disruptive. I am using Edge to access sites and post this.. though curiously enough I noticed it gave some error when checking for updates. Do not want to do anything there or will lose complete access.

Any suggestions .. or how to go back to a previous version, if necessary. Need a workable connection to file taxes next week so this is important. Thank you.
