Need help and do not understand why i am having these issues. My IT department will not "support" firefox but I use some external vendors that require it. I recently got a new computer.

Everyday I have to confirm security certificates for the same websites, even if I leave my computer on. Yes i have checked off to permanently store the certificates also and I am not in private mode. I have googled to no end for help and i am at a breaking point!

I have one site in particular that one I log in, it flashes to the screen I need and before I can do anything it takes me to the log in screen again. The funny thing is I am already logged in and it says "welcome yaddayadda" I have deactivated pop ups.

Hmm, you shouldn't need to make exceptions for well-run sites. Any idea why Firefox can't make a secure connection to those sites? If the problem is a corporate proxy server which is trusted by other browsers on your system, one possible workaround would be this setting:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste enterp and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the security.enterprise_roots.enabled preference to switch the value from false to true


Also, your Firefox identified itself as version 58, which is not supported and has publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities. You should move to one of the current releases, either:

Standard release -- Firefox 62

Extended Support Release - Firefox 60esr


If you use Flash, that also needs to be updated according to your Firefox (it says you have version 26 and the current version is 31).
