Getting 'Your connection is not secure'. Many websites i try are blocked by firefox.
Sites like yahoo mail....google...Bing and more are blocked [ this never happened before.] I recently had to re-install Windows 10 then Bitdefender anti virus and Malwarebytes......maybe that has something to do with it. Sometimes....but not always... i am given the opportunity to enter 'an exception' Your help would be much appreciated....I need to get access to all sites without blocking

In Bitdefender 2019 you can disable specific modules.
BitDefender Modules -> Online Threat Prevention -> Settings -> Web Protection: Encrypted web scan

There is security software like Avast and Kaspersky and BitDefender and ESET that intercepts secure connections and sends their own certificate or that incorporates special web shielding features that can block content.
You can check if there is more detail available about the issuer of the certificate.
- click the "Advanced" button show more detail
- click the blue error text (SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER) to show the certificate chain
- click "Copy text to clipboard" and paste the base64 certificate chain text in a reply
If clicking the blue error text doesn't provide the certificate chain then try these steps to inspect the certificate.
- open the Servers tab in the Certificate Manager
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Certificates: View Certificates -> Servers: "Add Exception"
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
- paste the URL of the website (https://xxx.xxx) in it's Location field
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate -> "Get Certificate"
- click the "View" button and inspect the certificate
You can see detail like the issuer of the certificate and intermediate certificates in the Details tab.
