I-Firefox Community Forum

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

At your recommendation I signed up to Ad Avoid and now FireFox tells me that I could/should not access BT.Com because of the certificate issued by Ad Avoid

Hi.

Why i need every time i restart the firefox esr accept the cudy.net certificate? Look the picture.

Is there a way to add it as exclude this certificate and NOT ask me every time i restart the firefox esr to accept this certificate?

My anti-virus reports that 30 to 100 times per day, it blocks firefox.exe attempts to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to to www.temu.com. Can you please stop your attempts ? Or tell me how to stop them ?

If I try to log into my router at 192.168.1.1 I get a message that says "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead". I expect that, but when I click on the Advanced button it doesn't do anything. Works fine with Chrome, so not my router or anti-virus. ???

Windows 10 Firefox 148.0

Can’t login to EFTPS.gov using Firefox and Login.gov. I receive an SSL error message.

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

I was on www.rt.com yesterday. Today, Firefox tells me I can't get on due to an expired certificate and won't let me bypass this warning. I don't believe this is a problem; I trust rt and I want to be able to bypass what I believe is overly sensitive security by Firefox. Without that, it amounts to censorship and I'm disappointed in Firefox.

My laser printer will not print due to low toner. However, when I click on "more information" to find out the toner level, that site is shown as unsecure and cannot be accessed.

Give me back my access to irccloud.com. I have been using that website for over 5 years on FireFox and then this morning you denied me access. Thanks for checking and correcting.

It is very annoying to not be able to have acces to my scholarship, my accommodation, or just my whole student services in general even if they are websites from the french government. I cannot bypass the mozilla security risk warning so I'm asking for some help here. the website is https://messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr/

it would be a great update to be able to go past the warnings in the future, being unable to do so forces users to switch of browser, especially when you cannot have acces to such websites which are essential for students

I get the following message when try to get https://webmail-oxcs.register.com./:

There is seriously something wrong with the way Firefox operates. There is nothing wrong with the following site so why am I seeing this message?

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with news.sky.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

news.sky.com 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. 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 news.sky.com. The certificate is only valid for: . What can you do about it?

I have been receiving several similar emails that disrupt my email use. How do I remove from my computer? Here's an example: An error occurred during a connection to 6yv5qzb7f8.boats. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

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.

<https://oaklandwiki.org/>

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?
