When I try to watch ESPN, Firefox will not allow the connection, saying it is not a secure sight. I have been watching ESPN on my computer for at least 3 years and never had a problem, it is a secure sight.

What is the exact error message?


There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.

Often, "Secure Connection Failed" means "Connection Failed (trying to load a secure page)". In other words, not a security problem, just a connection problem.
