Cannot access any https sites, clock is OK, get This Connection is Untrusted error message.

All works OK on Chrome and IE, but Firefox just suddenly stopped access to https sites yesterday, e.g. Google, Facebook and Linkedin. Non secure http sites are OK though. "This Connection is Untrusted" is the error message and technical details are www.google.com.tw uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried all the Mozilla support suggestions, clock (which was always correct), reset Firefox, etc. No change so far, I hope you can help fix this issue.

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

  • Installation of Firefox caused FiddlerRoot to be installed and I cannot access any https sites now through ANY borwser. Changes my proxy consistently.

    FiddlerRoot not only does not allow https certificates, but also resets my proxy after I set it back. This is consistent and i have worked through all the know "solutions". This is a ridiculous piece of code and has severely limited my internet capabilities.

    hello, no genuine firefox download from mozilla.org contains fiddlerroot - you might have downloaded adware from a rogue site.
    please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

  • Cannot open any https sites or use SSL apps

    Cannot open any https or ssl apps, have upgraded to mountain lion. Have open all ports outgoing and even tested via hotspot on my iPhone, have changed MTU to 1300....help??
    Cannot load any https sites..

    First, the process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't currently work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.
    Disable the built-in application firewall, if it's in use. If you're running a third-party firewall such as “LittleSnitch” or “Hands Off,” disable that. Test.
    In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    Otherwise, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
    If not, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
    /var/db/crls
    From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You’ll be prompted for your administrator password when you do this. Then reboot, empty the Trash, and try again.

  • I keep getting "This connection is untrusted" in all sites when i use Firefox 36.0.1 on windows 8 laptop. How can i overcome this.

    I keep getting "This connection is untrusted" in all sites when i use Firefox 36.0.1 on windows 8 laptop. How can i overcome this.

    hi vijaysampath, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page in order to inspect the certificate like it is shown on the screenshot attached:
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

  • Can't access ANY HTTPS sites, and problem affects only one user acct !

    My new iMac (arrived yesterday) is driving me nuts, getting me sick. Countless problems ... def. not the experience I was hoping for ... (I'm not a new mac user, own a macbook for 3 years now).
    The last one is that my account, for some unknown reason and all of a sudden (was perfect before), stopped working with ANY HTTPS connection ... banks, whatever ... anything that involves a secure protocol is out. I can't even login to my iTunes store. The message is that it can't estabilish a secure connection to the server. (Oh, the iTunes reports unknown error, wich took me 2 hours to find out that it wasn't iTunes fault, but the whole system was not working with HTTPS).
    I already tried reparing the disk permission, verifying the disk (no errors found), AND reparing the keychain using the keychain aid. Oh, I also reseted Safari ...
    The weirdest part of it all is that another account I had set up on the iMac works just fine. JUST FINE. And my main account is hopeless.
    Does ANYONE have any clue on this ?
    (btw my new iMac just screwed my iPhone on the first sync ... it was supposed to go smooth since it was set up using a time machine backup from the macbook .. but no, it erased half of my apps in the iphone, including my task managing apps with LOTS of scheduled to dos ... this is ridiculous).
    Message was edited by: FelipeRaul

    i have the same problem on an imac for a non-admin user. admin user is working fine. have installed 10.5.5 yesterday without any change. all patches applied. have also removed user and system keychain, because this was mentioned in a forum, did not help either.
    please help

  • HT203322 Still having issues with installing Yosemite after deleting "Backups.backupdb" on the internal hard drive.  I have restarted multiple times and cannot find any other back up files, yet I still receive the same error message during installation.

    I am using a 2011 iMac on 10.6.8. I recently downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and during the installation process ran into the "this disk is used for time machine backups". I ejected the external drive I use for time machine backups and turned off time machine in the application. I then followed the instructions of the help article (OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups - Apple Support) by moving the folder "Backups.backupdb" that I was able to find on my internal hard drive to the trash. I have restarted several times after completing this process. I am still running into the same error during the installation process. I have searched the hard drive for any other backups and I cannot find any. I searched the hard drive using the command cmd-shift-g and searched for “backups.backupdb” and was unable to find any folders or files. Any other suggestions?

    I have resolved the problem - I did not actually delete the "backups.backupdb" folder, I only deleted the contents of the folder.  I must have only searched on the user account for the folder after I thought I had deleted it.  Thank you for the assistance everyone and I apologize for the inconvenience!

  • Why do I constantly get "This Connection is Untrusted" intermittently and showing unrelated site names?

    Greetings,
    I am using firefox 34.0 on Win7 64bit. This issue occurs intermittently and after I've been viewing and navigating a known secure website. The error message will show completely unrelated sites under the "Technical Details". If I close the browser and restart it, and return to the known secure site the next time the error occurs the sites listed will be different.
    in addition the sites listed have not been visited during that browsing session. And none are accessed through the viewed pages (i.e. "ads").
    I have read the other questions of this type and their solutions and tried them. Nothing has helped. This problem started either in 32.0 or 33.0.
    Thanks!

  • Getting "This Connection is Untrusted" on certain known sites

    I will get this error when accessing the following sites:
    1. https://www.statefarm.com
    2.https://www.cacert.org
    I am using Firefox 22 on Fedora 19 x86_64 with Gnome DE
    I have a 2nd system running Fedora 19 and FF 22 with no problems.

    Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    You can also check the certificate in Google Chrome (click icon in the location bar) as that program may be giving a more detailed error report.

  • Trying to access https site with a cert, got "The connection was interrupted" error after 30 seconds of waiting time before clicking on OK. But I can get in by clicking on Try Again button.

    I have a web site running on https. Every users need certificates to get in.
    I found out that if I didn't submit my cert within 30 seconds, Firefox displayed "The connection was interrupted". This problem is repeatable. But if I click on "Try Again" button on the error page, I can get in all the time.
    This problem doesn't happen on IE.
    Can you provide any tips to avoid seeing the error page?

    It is a miracle - After about 9 months without itunes, the new release installed on my machine today and appears to be working.
    7.0.0.70 is the verion I just installed.
    Another note to add to this now resolved issue. I bought an AirPort Express and I was not able to install the Admin software on the CD. I received the same error as I received with iTunes and Quicktime. This leads me to believe that this problem is in the registry or some other installer issue that is specific to Apple installations. I will have to go home and try to re-install that software. Maybe the new iTunes version cleared up the problem.

  • I installed the 10.5 update on my Vista computer.  Could not access itunes store.  So I uploaded a previous version. Now I cannot access the itunes at all.  I get this message:The file I tunes libray.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer

  • "This connection is untrusted" for any website I try to visit

    Trying to access any website and I get the "this connection is untrusted" error come up.
    Sites like the FireFox addons, Facebook, Tumblr, etc etc.
    I've tried adjusting my date and time (although it already is on the correct date and time..) and still, nothing.

    Example:

  • I have a replacement 9.7 Pendo pad, I cannot access the Adobe site

    I have a 9.7 Pendopad which has been given to me as a replacement for one where the battry failed. I was able to access the Adobe web site to get access Overdrive Media, I cannot even get access to the Adobe Site to even sign in , I cannot access any par of the site not even support,
    so I am doing this on my Laptop. the pad is anAndroid version 4.2.2 . I can access all the other Web sites but not  Adobe .
    Please has anyone any ideas how to gain access using my Tablet.
    Rgards Tony Cole

    I don't know why this is happening to you; maybe your Wi-Fi connection is unstable?
    I just tried from my Android tablet to login to http://www.adobe.com/, https://www.acrobat.com/, https://www.facebook.com/ - no problem whatsoever.
    I also opened Adobe Reader, and I get autoatically connected to Acrobat.com

  • Cannot access web-streaming site

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit/SP1 OS...cannot access ANY cahnnels on "FreedoCast" web-streaming site (http://www.freedocast.com)...despite having latest Flash installed (version 11,6,602,180 installed).  Probably not a browser issue as this occurs on IE9, Firefox 19 & Safari 5--of which is a screenshot attached--as you can see No Video--just a Black Screen & No Audio--Basically the same display on all 3 browsers---COULD this be a "Flash" issue or more likely  the actual site (http://www.freedocast.com)--or perhaps something ELSE, I might not be familiar with?? 

    Hi,
    You can check the port you bind for the website in IIS and make sure you have created endpoint with the correct port. You can also install Telnet client on your local computer and run "telnet xxx.cloudapp.net public_port_in_endpoint" at the command
    prompt to see it works.
    Have you enable SSL on the website hosted on Azure VM? If yes, please also create an endpoint with port 443 and open that port in Windows Firewall on the VM.
    Best regards,
    Susie
