I-Firefox Community Forum

I have an website which I prior to this error message have visited many times on Firefox and had no problems. Recently though around two days ago I noticed that I couldn't get in and was met with the following message "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead". I can't bypass it apparently and I really need to be able to access this site as it's a University site.

I can access the site on other browsers such as Chrome and Edge but I use Firefox as my default browser and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Said link: https://canvas.gu.se/

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to uppsc.up.nic.in because this website requires a secure connection.

This is the 4th time I've reported this problem. Here's the warning I get every day only after I have already been loading Newsmax pages with no problems:

Secure Connection Failed

The connection to www.newsmax.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

There are no other sites in which I have this problem with FF x64 DE. In Edge, I see the newsmax pages load while the FF x64 DE https//newsmax.com xontinues to genberate the above message and fails to load the screen.

Please fix.

Thanks, WaltC

Whenever I try to open Github specifically I get:

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for github.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: cloudflare-dns.com, *.cloudflare-dns.com, one.one.one.one

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

I spent time looking into this, used a new IP address and tried updating the certificate for github, however I'm not particularly skilled when it comes to this, so any assistance would be much appreciated.

I am able to open all these sites in Edge and Chrome. Firefox is not allowing me to open any website including https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/141.0.3/WINNT/en-US/firefox-help

Here is one for www.theepochtimes.com Firefox blocked your visit to this site because the signature on the certificate provided for linkprotect.cudasvc.com isn’t valid.

I get the "Secure Connection Failed" when trying to go to a web site.

I know the web site is fine. You have stopped offering the "Go anyway" button!

Why are you closing the baked-in cert expiration support thread two days before it happens? Wouldn't it make a whole ton more sense to leave it open during the actual problem period?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1468274

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!

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.

I'm trying to access a local web application (GoPhish) running at https://127.0.0.1:3333 on Kali Linux. Firefox is showing a security warning and won't let me access the site . How can l bypass this warning safely, or add an exception for local addresses with self-singned certificates?

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

How long before Nightly download site is available again?

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-nightly-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US returns:

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Nightly detected a potential security threat and did not continue to download.mozilla.org because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

download.mozilla.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Nightly 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.
