This "Untrusted Connection" thing is god-damned annoying. Websites that I've been using for YEARS... all of a sudden are "untrusted." I don't ***-**** care. How do I turn this feature off?

Well the most important thing to do is to first update to Firefox 19. Update Firefox to the latest release

Then, check the date/ time of your computer, Reset Firefox Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings and let us know what happens!

Thanks for your input Tyler. But, I don't want additional FireFox "changes" or "updates." I want to know how to turn this CRAP "off."

Well, then unfortunately I can't help you. You need to update to Firefox 19 as it has dozens of security fixes and bug fixes, and we can only really help you when you use a version of Firefox we support. Staying with an old version of Firefox is quite unwise.

The fact that you REFUSE to support previous versions... tells me volumes about the Mozilla "project"... and NOT in a "good" way.

Your v19 -does- seem to 'remember' what I have added as 'exceptions'. However, I will withhold my 'approval' until I have used the v19 for several days.

This statement does NOT IN ANY WAY condone YOUR arrogant attitude expressed previously... "that you don't support previous releases of FireFox."

First, please refrain from using language or being abusive in the forums or you will be banned.

Firefox 10 is not supported, because it was replaced by Firefox 11, which was replaced by Firefox 12, and so on. The only supported version is the most recent version of Firefox, which right now is Firefox 19. Old versions of Firefox are insecure, and out of date, using them is not recommended and we don't support them anymore.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Some security software intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.

Some examples are ESET and Bitdefender.

  • ESET setup -> advanced setup -> extend web and email tree -> SSL
  • SSL protocol: Do not scan SSL protocol
  • BitDefender -> Privacy settings -> disable Scan SSL

First, I don't appreciate Tyler's condescending attitude. If he doesn't like my frustration vented, then FIX THE PROBLEM.

Second, I have "updated" to v19, which -seems- to have alleviated some of the problems to a degree. But, when I "add exception" for a website that I've been using for... oh... 10 years or more... I expect that site to be added... NOT... have to "add exception" a second... or third... or fourth time... OR FIFTH TIME... ad nauseum... I expect it to be added... the FIRST TIME... that I indicate for that site to be added to the exception list.

Tyler doesn't "like" my "abusive language"... pffffff... answer my questions with something functional, then we'll get somewhere.

I have no idea what "ESET" and "bitdefender" are.

I understand that MOZILLA is "freeware." Please understand, I -GREATLY- appreciate your (and the community-at-large's) efforts. I truly HATE the Microsoft stranglehold on the computing industry. However in the last FOUR or FIVE months, I have been sorely disappointed with FireFox.

In my mind, "user-friendly" means "user-tweakable"... as in... "I-can-tell-the-software-to-do-what-I-want-it-to-do." Maybe I just need to learn to write my own software... COBOL-85 is a bit out-of-date.

You can also check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.

"ESET" and "Bitdefender" are examples of security software (firewall) that can be configured to monitor secure connections.

Funny how you say that if we give you a "functional" answer you'll be nice, when updating to 19 at least put you in the right track. Regardless, the language you used (which I've since removed) does not belong on this forum. Working together and not being abusive is the best way to solve issues.

v19 STILL... hasn't FIXED the issue. I shouldn't have to "Confirm Security Exception" 2, 3, 4, or 10 times. Pull your head out of that very-dark-place, Tyler... and give me a FUNCTIONAL FIX.

That link didn't provide any insights related to the problems I am experiencing.

Some security software intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.

Check out why the site is untrusted (see the Technical details) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.

Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.

  • Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"

Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".

  • Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.

You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

Ok... I've read over this arguing back and forth (didn't get anything out of that but whatever) I too can not get my firefox to stop this connection issue! I have checked the time/date, that is not at all the issue. I don't know how to access this eset or bitdefender thing, can someone please try to help me before I go crazy. I need firefox for college, but EVERY SINGLE time I try to get on any website AT ALL it says this no matter if i've accepted the connection 5-10 times, and I am currently using version 19, and I have not had this problem until I started using this version which I just updated last weekend.

more options

Did you try to retrieve the certificate like I posted above?

If security software is involved then the issuer of the certificate will be that security software.

What do the Technical Details on that SSL error page say?

I didn't have the problem until I upgraded to FF v14 or v15 a few months ago, when I was FORCED to "upgrade." I had been using, I think, v4.(something,) because several 'games' on Facebook worked better with the older version. (I can hear the groans.) Here's a portion of the pop-up-window message I get:

!! You are about to override how Firefox identifies this site. !! Legitimate banks, stores, and other public sites will not ask you to do this.

Certificate Status This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

Unknown identity Certificate is not trusted, because it hasn't been verified by a recognized authority using a secure signature.

Trying to 'troubleshoot' in days past, I had turned ThreatFire 'off'. Went further tonight and "uninstalled" ThreatFire. Restarted. And get the same "OMG ! Don't use this site ! It's BAD !" message.

I have re-installed ThreatFire.

Reading back through this string...

I don't receive a "Secure Connection Failed" message.

My Zitomedia email log-in page is the only time I get "Untrusted Connection."

more options

Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.

If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file. Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates. Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.

If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.

more options

1) Closed FF, Deleted "Cert8", no fix. 2) Closed FF, Renamed to "Secmod.old", no fix. 3) Closed FF, Deleted "Secmod" and "Secmod.old", no fix. 3) The Clock is set to "sync with Internet Time Server"

Poked around on the 'link' for "Secure Connection Failed", it does not address either of these conditions: 1) Certificate Status This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. 2)Unknown identity Certificate is not trusted, because it hasn't been verified by a recognized authority using a secure signature.

I called the ISP. No, they haven't received complaints of this issue. The tech I spoke with uses FF v19. He gets into his Zito mail with no error/ warning messages.

Since this problem seems to be specific to me: ...traceroute zitomedia.net <enter> ...yielded an unknown IP: 10.67.0.1, then hit the Zito server(s.) I'm not finding who "owns" that IP, yet.

(correction to my last) My queries haven't found who "owns" that IP, yet.
