After updating software and restarting my laptop (Lenovo running windows 10 or 11) Firefox now displays this message for every web page (this example from attempting to access Gmail, but same message with all other sites I have tried):

"Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with mail.google.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

mail.google.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."

I now can't access any pages using Firefox. Long term user, so I hope you can help me! C

I periodically need to access a website with an expired or self-signed certificate. I understand the risks, but the browser won't let me. I've searched both the regular settings and about:config, but I can't find an option to restore the button to ignore the warning. How can I ignore the SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE notification and proceed to the website I need?

As the title says, with both with https and http firefox displays this warning:

But no way to bypass it, trying to login to my ubiquiti edgerouter at http://192.168.1.1 or https://192.168.1.1

What can i do?

If I try to log into my router at 192.168.1.1 I get a message that says "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead". I expect that, but when I click on the Advanced button it doesn't do anything. Works fine with Chrome, so not my router or anti-virus. ???

Windows 10 Firefox 148.0

Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

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: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

this is the entire error message.

It used to be possible to proceed if I clicked on "Advanced", However, I can no longer do this with the latest update of Firefox. It's this site: link text

It is very annoying to not be able to have acces to my scholarship, my accommodation, or just my whole student services in general even if they are websites from the french government. I cannot bypass the mozilla security risk warning so I'm asking for some help here. the website is https://messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr/

it would be a great update to be able to go past the warnings in the future, being unable to do so forces users to switch of browser, especially when you cannot have acces to such websites which are essential for students

Subject: Persistent “Secure Connection Failed” after SSL certificate was re-issued – cannot clear cached certificate Hello Firefox Support, I am experiencing a persistent SSL certificate problem that only occurs in Firefox. Background

Domain: j3tourshongkong.com (and www.j3tourshongkong.com) The domain was recently moved to a redirect service (redirect.pizza) A new valid SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt via the redirect service The certificate is confirmed working by the certificate issuer and by redirect.pizza support

Current situation

HTTPS works correctly in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and on mobile browsers HTTPS works correctly on the same computer when using Chrome In Firefox (both normal and Private windows) I continue to receive “Secure Connection Failed / Not Secure”

What I have already tried

Cleared cookies and site data for the domain Cleared all recent history (including cache) Tested in a Private Window Restarted Firefox multiple times

None of these steps resolved the issue in my current Firefox profile. It appears Firefox has cached the previous (invalid) certificate state and is not refreshing it, even though a valid certificate is now being presented by the server. Could you please advise:

Is there a more thorough way to force Firefox to discard a cached SSL certificate for a specific domain? Or is this a known issue that requires a fix on the Firefox side?

I am happy to provide any additional technical details or screenshots if needed. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Jamie Lloyd

I am trying to access my QNAP NAS configuration page within my home LAN from a newly installed Linux PC with Firefox 147.0.1. Firefox won't let me access the page, popping up an error page:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nessy.fritz.box. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

I have verified that the claimed risk is nonexistant, but Firefox does not allow me to bypass the warning. There is no "Proceed anyway" or "Advanced..." button as claimed in various help articles.

How can I convince Firefox that I know what I am doing?

NB: The same page is accessible, also with Firefox 147.0.1, from a Windows PC.

This is the message I get when I try to login to YouTube. Why? I've been using YouTube for years.

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Thank you for your help. Rhonda

I wish to add an exception to an address which I host locally. I've explored many options which didn't work such as: Adding HTTPS-Only Exception Disabling certain security features

In this case I accessed my Acer account and clicked on my notebook. I then got the screen shown in the image. I could access the page with Opera, Chrome, and Edge.

This is happening a lot, and is rendering Firefox unusable as my default browser.

I'm trying to access livingshield.org? When I try to access this website, I keep receiving secured connection failed. I need to access this website to register for courses

All of a sudden almost every site I try to enter comes up with "Secure Connection Failed". This started happening on Friday, July 10th for the first time. I've read almost every article in the Firefox's community forums and tried multiple actions and nothing stops this. I don't know why this all of a sudden when it never did this before. I hope someone can tell me how to stop this from happening].
