So I was have tons of issues with Firefox so decided to reset it, now my issues have tripled. One of which involved black screens on video players (Youtube) but thats not the issue anymore, cause Firefox broke Youtube. The site is aligned all weird and any structure it used to have is gone, I've included a picture (if it works) so you can get a general idea of the damage. Next up is websites are randomly getting stop by Firefox security saying that my connection isn't secure, saying that the site isn't safe. Then a second later you reload the site and it works just fine. There are some it insist on having issues, for example ous's website your just locked out of. While sites like "Google", "Mozilla" (I'm currently using chrome to type this because this site is unusable otherwise and works consistently, see 1st issue), "Youtube" are having a seizure trying to decide whether the site is 'safe' which at this point just looks like a bunch of bugged false positives.

hi adjoth, the most likely cause for that is your security software intercepting secure connections and replacing the websites' certs. in order to fix that, please see How to troubleshoot security error codes on secure websites

Much thanks, looks like it was the anti-virus.
