Firefox Community Forum

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 cannot get past the secure connection failed! I have cleared cookies, cache, etc. I have turned off the firewall, and restarted my computer more times that I can count....

https://www.wrightbroslandscaping.com/ won't open, gives me "Secure Connection Failed" message. I want it to open anyway.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

usually I am given the option to open it anyway, but not on this page.

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.

Https:// does not show. every time I get an update something changes when I start. Unable to pull up Rumble, Beforeitsnews, amg-news. This started sometime yesterday. Please advise. To be clear, Windows 11 was installed, it started issues then. Just so you know, I am totally clueless with setting up computers

I don't understand your philosophy of preventing someone from danger. If I am trying to log into my local router and your product says "no, its not secure" I am faced with at least two problems: First I am denied access to my equipment; and secondly, I am prevented from having control of my own decision-making as poor as it might be. It is especially annoying that your explanations are empty and vacuous, jargon-filled and full of misdirection, sending me into a world of data, not information, with the prospect of spending too much time on things I don't want to know. That seems more Microsoft than Mozilla. That is Mozilla as a consumer product, not Mozilla as an IT technologist.

Why can't you simply say we think its safer for you for us to block your request, but if you insist, do this. But beware, these are the possible consequences.

I have been using the G-MAIL account for a very long time. I have never experienced problems while using it. I have also on a previous occasion registered here at Firefox and used it successfully, the same g-mail account for my emails. I have just registered and I am now blocked from accessing my emails because of a false certificate. When I registered previously here on Firefox I was able to use the same g-mail account. When did its certificate become faulty?' How do I access my emails? Does this mean I have to start new email addresses acceptable here at Firefox or its a go back to where you came from or try somewhere else?
