What can you do about it?

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to uppsc.up.nic.in because this website requires a secure connection.

Whenever I try to open Github specifically I get:

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for github.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: cloudflare-dns.com, *.cloudflare-dns.com, one.one.one.one

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

I spent time looking into this, used a new IP address and tried updating the certificate for github, however I'm not particularly skilled when it comes to this, so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Every time I try to connect my domain to my website on solo AI web developer site, I get an ssl or cashe or connection error with a

Secure Connection Failed

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

This is the 4th time I've reported this problem. Here's the warning I get every day only after I have already been loading Newsmax pages with no problems:

Secure Connection Failed

The connection to www.newsmax.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

There are no other sites in which I have this problem with FF x64 DE. In Edge, I see the newsmax pages load while the FF x64 DE https//newsmax.com xontinues to genberate the above message and fails to load the screen.

Please fix.

Thanks, WaltC

I used to be able to connect with Firefox (with a warning message from you) to my local Netgear NAS, but now it just says:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.1.100. Peer using unsupported version of security protocol. Error code: SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. This web site might not support the TLS 1.2 protocol, which is the minimum version supported by Firefox.

How can I still override this with Firefox. It's really important I can connect to my NAS.

With thanks,

I have been receiving several similar emails that disrupt my email use. How do I remove from my computer? Here's an example: An error occurred during a connection to 6yv5qzb7f8.boats. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

I read the The Times in the UK and have no problem viewing on my iPad and Google Pixel phone using the Firefox browser. However on my laptop using Firefox I get a screen that says Secure connection failed and recommends contacting the vendor as there is no workaround. On microsoft Edge there is no problem I like Firefox but for me this is a major limitation. Any ideas or suggestions welcome

I am getting the below message when trying to log into the EFTPS site. I have never had this issue before.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

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

What can you do about it?

www.eftps.gov 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.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Verified Firefox is rejecting 100% of all websites last few days and will not accept any Trust Certificates from Windows. Please correct and configure Firefox to Trust Windows Certificate store. Also is Firefox Mozilla using Windows DNS Servers , for security purposes ? Thank you Paul
