I-Firefox Community Forum

To be honest. Firefox is starting to be a big pain to use. I'm starting to see more and more of this screen where it say's "Be careful. Something doesn't look right" Even when i go to the advance and say proceed. Nothing happens and i'm getting no where. I know many of the sites don't have anything to do with asking for credit card, Scam or even having popup's. I test the sites in other browsers and there work without any issues. But Firefox is starting to lock me out of many sites due to this. How can i make this stop. As i used Firefox for many years.

The sample that is in the screenshot is a Anime data base that i have also used for years. But today shows this. But was working fine yesteday. What is going on and how can i fix it. So i can start using the browser that i love on the sites i want to.

I am writing to report a recurring technical issue that began appearing today across multiple devices.

When attempting to access Google websites (specifically Gmail and Google News) using the Firefox browser, users are being prompted to identify themselves via a security certificate. Previously, this authentication step did not occur, and access was seamless.

Key Observations:

Impact: We have confirmed this behavior on three firm-issued computers as well as one personal device.

Browser: The issue is isolated to Firefox; other browsers appear unaffected.

Timing: This behavior was not present yesterday; it started manifesting today.

We suspect this may be related to a recent network configuration change, a new security policy rollout, or a browser update that has altered how Firefox handles trusted connections to Google services.

Could you please inform me whether there have been any recent changes to our SSL inspection proxies, root certificate stores, or DNS configurations? Additionally, does anyone else on the team have visibility into a widespread incident affecting Google certificates, or should we proceed with troubleshooting individual profiles?

Hello,

Since this morning, I haven't been able to access Bsky on my laptop because of a supposed HSTS risk, which means I can't add an exception to visit it. I use Firefox on my Android and going to the mobile version of the website lets me in no problem, so I assume there's an issue with my laptop.

I'd usually wait a few days and let it solve itself but just in case it's something on my end, I'd like to solve it! I'm on 151.0.4 (64-bit), don't use a VPN or an anti-virus, I have a couple of privacy add-ons but they've been here forever and they've never caused a fuss. I can post a screenshot of the error code and the certificate it sends me if it's any help.

I'd appreciate any pointers! Thanks!

in Firefox 149.0 on Windows 11 I am told "You have added a security exception for this site." But not how to remove it. How do I do that? I did not see anything in Settings or about:config; did I miss it?

I have started receiving a secure connection failed error message for a portal log-in website that worked fine for the past 6-7 months (see attached document). Other people in my group use Firefox and Bitdefender to access the portal and none of them are having this issue.

I originally believed the problem to be my anti-virus (Bitdefender) and worked with them to resolve the problems. After trying various solutions including clearing my cache, using private mode and turning off different components of their software, Bitdefender believes the problem is with my browser setting and not their software. I also tried accessing the portal using Chrome in both regular and incognito modes and cannot access the site which would seem to rule out the problem being a Firefox browser problem but contacting Firefox support seems to be the next logical step.

I have been to the Firefox FAQ and saw similar problems with potential solutions - DNS over HTTPS, TLSKEYLOGGING issues, add-on exceptions - none of which worked. I have the most recent version of Firefox and am running Windows 11 home version.

Sometimes if I hit refresh after receiving the error message, the browser will try to connect and I will get a server time out message. If I keep hitting "try again", sometimes the portal log-in screen will appear and allow me to log-in. The key word is "sometimes" since often I just keep getting the server time out message.

Any ideas for me to try from this forum?

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

Hello, I am facing a very strange and frustrating issue with my website https://biografieblick.de/, and it is only happening on the firefox browser other browsers like chrome, edge or safari are loading the site perfectly fine. The Issue is it occurs occasionally, Yeahh IDK why. When I try to visit my site, Firefox gets stuck on a screen that says "Checking if the site connection is secure" and it looks like an loop sometimes.

This looks exactly like a cloudflare turnstile loop but I am NOT using cloudflare. I have double checked my DNS records and explicitly confirmed this with my web hosting provider. This block only triggers when using firefox.

Site: https://www.thegamer.com Firefox refuses to load the site, it does not even show the certificate when clicking on the lock. Using the certificate manager, add exception does not work too, it just refuses to store the certificate. But at least THERE I can VIEW the certificate, which proves it is valid and FIREFOX is at fault:

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.thegamer.com&latest shows "IO exception" when trying to check the CRL, but gives an A+. Yet Firefox does not even give me the "Continue anyway" possibility. This it tiering, I hate using google chrome based browsers, but of course, it works there. Server 2025, only MS-defender at its default settings.

Please help me purchase a NM Gift Certificate for my daughter Caroline Campbell. She has an account with you but I do not and I'm overwhelmed by the process. Lisa Nichol [edited email from community support forum]

Hi, I try to use Firefox for my job and faced with the problem that I can't open state owned website due to sertificate signature error. I ready to take a risk but I can't find the button "Proceed.. (Risky)". This button simply not showing. In th same time in mobile version I saw this button, could take permssions myself and open the website. I tryed to add root and sub sertificates of the Goverment, tryed to add the site address to exclusions -- all these steps don't work. I can't open the site and can't find button "Proceed.. (Risky)". Moreover, in the same time, I can open this website without any questions and problems with Safari and Chrome.

I use the last Firefox version (153.0) from Firefox official website.

How can I resolve this problem in Firefox? Please help me

I was going to look at a friend's website that has an SSL-certificate, has had it for years, which has been working all that time. Now Firefox informs me: "Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for www.wuwei-school.nl. The certificate is only valid for: wuwei-school.nl."

Really? I pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the certificate and I was taught that the "www" component is not important as a prefix for the domain name in a URL. It is just a shorthand code to show that the address is a URL. Can Mozilla fix this issue? Or, at least, explain?

Thanks

Firefox's full message: - - - Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with www.wuwei-school.nl. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

The site is set up to allow only secure connections, but there’s a problem with the site’s certificate. It’s possible that a bad actor is trying to impersonate the site. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for www.wuwei-school.nl. The certificate is only valid for: wuwei-school.nl. What can you do about it?

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. But if you’re on a corporate network, your support team may have more info. If you’re using antivirus software, try searching for potential conflicts or known issues.

Error Code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

Aug 21, 2026 11:10:31 PM GMT+2 - - -

Hello, I run a movie and drama-related website: https://tvmon.com.co/. Recently, I’ve noticed that Firefox occasionally throws the following error when trying to access the site:

"Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to tvmon.com.co. . The OCSP response contains an invalid signing certificate. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT"

This issue is very strange because:

1. The site loads fine in Chrome, Edge, and Safari.

1. My SSL/TLS certificate is valid, up-to-date, and passes external tests (SSL Labs, etc.).

1. The error only appears occasionally in Firefox, refreshing sometimes fixes it, sometimes not.

1. Hosting and server logs show no issues at all.

I suspect this is related to Firefox’s stricter OCSP validation, but I’m not sure how to debug or resolve it. Since my site streams drama and movie content, this error is frustrating for users who rely on Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced this intermittent OCSP signing certificate error? Is there a known fix or workaround for Firefox-specific validation issues?

Subject: Urgent Assistance Needed with Certificate Installation

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am in urgent need of assistance regarding a Linux-based system where we have the Firefox browser installed. I need to establish a secure connection with one of my servers, which requires the installation of a certificate.

However, I am unable to locate the certificate export button in the certificate view or anywhere else in the browser. I have tried several methods without success.

Could you please help me with this issue as soon as possible? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Best regards, Kishor
