Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.youtube.com because this website requires a secure connection. What can you do about it? www.youtube.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. 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.

I am trying to access certain HTTPS website and some of them show PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR in Firefox. This error is not present in Edge or Chrome. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

An error occurred during a connection to delta-executorr.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.

Here's what I've tried (none of these works):

   DNS over HTTPS turned off
   Uninstall all add-ons
   Reinstall Firefox
   Create new profile and set it as default
   Delete/rename certs.db in the Firefox profiles folder. 

I'm tired fixing errors which become more complex and solutions are written for people who have the time an knowledge to waste fixing these constant issues in FIREFOX, Time to change browser.

I don't know if this is relevant but one of the website that does not work is https://delta-executorr.com/

Give me back my access to irccloud.com. I have been using that website for over 5 years on FireFox and then this morning you denied me access. Thanks for checking and correcting.

Hi, Since three or four months, whenever I log into Outlook live, either on Mac or Windows PC, I get a security warning saying that the information will not be secure (Please see attachment.) When I log into the same account, from Edge for example, I do not get the warning popup. I really enjoy using Firefox and would love to continue but this case is worrying me a bit. Any idea to help? Thank you very much, Mathieu B.

All of a sudden I am getting loads of SPAM emails and when I try to unsubscribe, I get a Secure Connection Failed error. I have marked them as SPAM but they just keep coming, daily.

Hello, I run a movie and drama-related website: https://tvmon.com.co/. Recently, I’ve noticed that Firefox occasionally throws the following error when trying to access the site:

"Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to tvmon.com.co. . The OCSP response contains an invalid signing certificate. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT"

This issue is very strange because:

1. The site loads fine in Chrome, Edge, and Safari.

1. My SSL/TLS certificate is valid, up-to-date, and passes external tests (SSL Labs, etc.).

1. The error only appears occasionally in Firefox, refreshing sometimes fixes it, sometimes not.

1. Hosting and server logs show no issues at all.

I suspect this is related to Firefox’s stricter OCSP validation, but I’m not sure how to debug or resolve it. Since my site streams drama and movie content, this error is frustrating for users who rely on Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced this intermittent OCSP signing certificate error? Is there a known fix or workaround for Firefox-specific validation issues?
