"Secure Connection Failed" Persistent Error
I recently installed Firefox 102.0.1 64-bit on a new WinX laptop. Using the same link as always (http://www.henderson.lib.nc.us/) I am unable to connect with my county library. I'm not having trouble with other sites. The error message says
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.hendersoncountync.gov. PR_END_OF_FILE_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.
I turned off HTTPS-Only Mode but the problem persisted. I also tried entering this site as an exception for HTTPS-Only but that didn't help. Even after restarting the computer, Firefox continues to reset the URL to HTTPS from HTTP. My wife was able to access this website on her desktop WinX with Firefox and no problem. On my WinX desktop with Firefox I connected to https://www.hendersoncountync.gov/library instantly.
Is the HTTPS-Only Mode sticky? What am I missing?

Looks like that fixed it... THANKS!

A screenshot would show exactly the error message copied and pasted above.
When my Firefox requests
http://www.henderson.lib.nc.us/
the site returns a Permanent Redirect to
https://www.hendersoncountync.gov/library
So it's time to update your bookmark.
But if you try that address directly (on your laptop) rather than going through the redirect, does it have the same problem?
Just to rule out the potential complication of a system-level proxy server intercept, set Firefox to ignore that. Here's how:
Open the Settings page using either:
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Settings (previously "Options")
- type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the tiny search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Settings" button, which you can click.
The default of "Use system proxy settings" piggybacks on your Windows/IE "LAN" setting. Set this to "No proxy" and click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog to save it.
Any difference?
