I don't understand your philosophy of preventing someone from danger. If I am trying to log into my local router and your product says "no, its not secure" I am faced with at least two problems: First I am denied access to my equipment; and secondly, I am prevented from having control of my own decision-making as poor as it might be. It is especially annoying that your explanations are empty and vacuous, jargon-filled and full of misdirection, sending me into a world of data, not information, with the prospect of spending too much time on things I don't want to know. That seems more Microsoft than Mozilla. That is Mozilla as a consumer product, not Mozilla as an IT technologist.

Why can't you simply say we think its safer for you for us to block your request, but if you insist, do this. But beware, these are the possible consequences.

Dear all, can you please help? I am trying to login to my bank First Direct. When clicking on First Direct bookmark I receive a error message.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.firstdirect.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Will someone help me get over this? My contact email [edited email and phone# from community support forum] & on WhatsApp. Thanks Albert

I am trying to backup a certificate using certificate manager but I keep getting the error “Failed to create PKCS #12 backup file for unknown reasons” I have tried everything to get this to work

I am new to firefox customization. I need help to understand, how firefox picks up CA certificates from the global ca-certificates path in ubuntu and uses them in their own cert9.db

Currently, what I am trying is, If I have a rootCA certificate (which I generated using openssl), I want to keep it in a specific path, such that when firefox launches, it picks up that certificate and uses it. How can i achieve it.

I have tried using the policies.json, which works. But are there any other ways to achieve it?

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to identity.att.com. SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_FAILED

I have a router set up at a remote site with a device that has a built in web server that allows viewing the items displayed. The router quit working so i replaced it with another one with the same configuration but now when I try to access through it The browser is complaining that it is unsecure and apparently resets the connection. I don't care if it is unsecure it is my site/router and I want to connect. I have used this configuration many times with no problems but firefox has done something to prevent it from working anymore, this started being a problem with some of these setups a couple years ago. How do I get it to connect anyway.

I am getting the below message when trying to log into the EFTPS site. I have never had this issue before.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.eftps.gov because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.eftps.gov has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I am trying to make a payment through your website, but it does not go through. the message is:secure connection failed. Joyce Cohen (Mod's note: Phone number removed)

I read the The Times in the UK and have no problem viewing on my iPad and Google Pixel phone using the Firefox browser. However on my laptop using Firefox I get a screen that says Secure connection failed and recommends contacting the vendor as there is no workaround. On microsoft Edge there is no problem I like Firefox but for me this is a major limitation. Any ideas or suggestions welcome

My bank says it is your problem. This website will open using Google but not Firefox. I am wondering if somewhere in your last "update" there was a change which clashes with my bank's security settings (or whatever). When I try to open the website (Chase.com), the screen shows a solid blue screen and a twirling circle which usually precedes the opening to my account page. It twirls FOREVER! It never opens! It makes no sense to me whatever. HELP!!

The certificat is installed correctly and tested when I was in Spain. Thank you for your support.

I have been using the G-MAIL account for a very long time. I have never experienced problems while using it. I have also on a previous occasion registered here at Firefox and used it successfully, the same g-mail account for my emails. I have just registered and I am now blocked from accessing my emails because of a false certificate. When I registered previously here on Firefox I was able to use the same g-mail account. When did its certificate become faulty?' How do I access my emails? Does this mean I have to start new email addresses acceptable here at Firefox or its a go back to where you came from or try somewhere else?
