I entered a website and I got this message on Firefox:



This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to ***.*****.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

Technical Details
***.*****.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

I Understand the Risks

If you understand what's going on, you
can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification.
Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is
tampering with your connection.



Anyone can help please?

I find that firefox is not a good browser anymore. They don't support real player anymore and don't have good security, with to many risks.

specific actual it relatively is a beta version and as with any beta variations you are able to assume bugs. even nevertheless a secrity zone coverage does sound like a firewall concern because of the fact it says your acquire is being blocked. Do you have an exception for firefox to acquire application updates? in case you do no longer then that could desire to be your concern there as your firewall may well be blocking off it. protection Zone can be a putting in Firefox Browser protection. verify you protection settings in firefox. it may additionally be a putting on your AV or your undercover agent ware safety. verify those out and see. sturdy success Worse Case undertaking you are able to have somebody acquire the deploy report or acquire it somwhere else and burn it to disc, digital mail it, or bounce tension it so which you would be able to deploy it on stated laptop.

This can happen when the security certificate is out of date or not issued by a valid CA authority. If the date and year on your computer is correct it may be the site let the certificate expire.

When this happens to me I open the website in Chrome or IE. If you know the site is good you can add an exception

As a side note, I recommend https everywhere addon from the EFF. It forces your browser to connect to the secure https version of a website automatically, if one is available.
