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

How long before Nightly download site is available again?

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-nightly-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US returns:

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Nightly detected a potential security threat and did not continue to download.mozilla.org because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

download.mozilla.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Nightly 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. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

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

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.

Hi,

I saw some forums and even google is blocked and i have this problems. I paste here the problem but my browser is en french:

'Connexion bloquée : problème de sécurité potentiel

Firefox a détecté une menace potentielle de sécurité et a interrompu le chargement de pasarela.clave.gob.es, car ce site web nécessite une connexion sécurisée.

Que pouvez-vous faire ?

pasarela.clave.gob.es a recours à une stratégie de sécurité HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), une connexion sécurisée est obligatoire pour y accéder. Vous ne pouvez pas ajouter d’exception pour visiter ce site.

Le problème vient probablement du site web, donc vous ne pouvez pas y remédier.

Si vous naviguez sur un réseau d’entreprise ou si vous utilisez un antivirus, vous pouvez contacter les équipes d’assistance pour obtenir de l’aide. Vous pouvez également signaler le problème aux personnes qui administrent le site web.'

Any ideas ? how is possible that this website is giving me error? is a government one. Is something wrong with the certificate ?

When trying to access many popular websites with Firefox on my Fedora 43 installation, I am greeted with a security warning page with the SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error. For most of these websites I can simply accept and continue, but HSTS-only sites will not permit this.

Affected websites include but are not limited to (based on exceptions in the certificates section of Firefox settings):

• github.io (many subdomains)
• purdue.edu (many subdomains)
• iu.edu
• ebay.com
• cbsnews.com
• iwm.org.uk
• home.cern
• celestrak.org

Any help in resolving this is appreciated.

Please help me purchase a NM Gift Certificate for my daughter Caroline Campbell. She has an account with you but I do not and I'm overwhelmed by the process. Lisa Nichol [edited email from community support forum]

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 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.

When I try to log into a site I have used dozens and dozens of times in the past, I get the following notice: WARNING: POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK AHEAD. This is a dead end from which I have not een able to proceed. The particular site I am attempting to access is the only site where I've encountered this warning. I called that site and was told that while they have been tweaking their security, since the warning message came from Firefox, I should contact Mozilla for help. So here I am.

I use desktop Firefox with newly installed Windows 11 (my profile erroneously sates w10). i must use the blocked website frequently, and so I need to restore access to it ASAP. It is a high security healthcare site, and as I said, they claim they could not identify a security problem, that the key to restoring my access is through my browser, Firefox.

Can you help me restore my access to the site? Thanks .... KH

I'm trying to access a local web application (GoPhish) running at https://127.0.0.1:3333 on Kali Linux. Firefox is showing a security warning and won't let me access the site . How can l bypass this warning safely, or add an exception for local addresses with self-singned certificates?

When browsing, I sometimes (more often than not) get a Secure Connection Failed message. The Try Again tab clears the problem sometimes (not that often). This problem has just started happening in the last week, during which I have not made changes to any settings in Firefox. This problem does not exist using other search engines for the same site that I am trying to access, and I note that I also get this same failure when trying to access some Firefox webpages. Is there a fix to this other than contacting the web site owner, which I doubt is the cause of the problem, or for ease and simplicity should I just change to another search engine that does not have the problem?

Just stop sending useless warnings about Australian Government Websites. The BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) provides weather information on request. It is a free service and does not require a subscription.

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,

Nick Curley
