Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to mmlsay.assam.gov.in. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

mmlsay.assam.gov.in 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. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

'I was sent a link that goes to a learning site by my future employer to take some online classes via email. Every time I try to access the site I get a message that I need to close the page as the website may be impersonating someone trying to steal my information. I use Safari, not that I have a clue what it means, is this a restriction issue I need to avoid or sidestep like a firewall or something similar? I tried typing the web address and the HR office says not to do that - to only use the link. How can I check what’s wrong so that I can take access the online classes for this position?

When trying to access many popular websites with Firefox on my Fedora 43 installation, I am greeted with a security warning page with the SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error. For most of these websites I can simply accept and continue, but HSTS-only sites will not permit this.

Affected websites include but are not limited to (based on exceptions in the certificates section of Firefox settings):

• github.io (many subdomains)
• purdue.edu (many subdomains)
• iu.edu
• ebay.com
• cbsnews.com
• iwm.org.uk
• home.cern
• celestrak.org

Any help in resolving this is appreciated.

When I try to log into a site I have used dozens and dozens of times in the past, I get the following notice: WARNING: POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK AHEAD. This is a dead end from which I have not een able to proceed. The particular site I am attempting to access is the only site where I've encountered this warning. I called that site and was told that while they have been tweaking their security, since the warning message came from Firefox, I should contact Mozilla for help. So here I am.

I use desktop Firefox with newly installed Windows 11 (my profile erroneously sates w10). i must use the blocked website frequently, and so I need to restore access to it ASAP. It is a high security healthcare site, and as I said, they claim they could not identify a security problem, that the key to restoring my access is through my browser, Firefox.

Can you help me restore my access to the site? Thanks .... KH

Secure Connection Failed This happens only on FIREFOX. NOT any other browsers that I have. I contacted the tech group on the site that I receive this message for the last 3 or four months. They checked everything on their end...it is a browser issue!

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?
