I get a "Secure Connection Failed" error with google stating "certificate contains the same serial number"

When I click on a link for a google search, I get the "Secure Connection Failed" error in Firefox. It states, "Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information: Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority."
I have followed the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Certificate%20contains%20the%20same%20serial%20number%20as%20another%20certificate
and looked at this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1028103?esab=a&as=aaq
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted the entire profiles folder, and reset Firefox. I see that the older (orphaned) article points to my router. However, I have a new router and have updated its software. There is no button to add an exception (as noted in the article), so I can't just bypass it. This problem does not occur with IE, so I have a hard time believing it is my router.
How do I troubleshoot this issue? I really don't want to change browsers.

Here is a screen shot of the error.

  • Secure Connection Failed (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

    Hello
    I'm having troulbes accessing HP iLO with FF 36.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, getting the following error message:
    ====================================
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to 172.25.X.X. Issuer certificate is invalid. (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    ====================================
    It seems to work with other browser such as Chromium, so the problem seems to be FF 36.0. Unfortunately, I don't have an "Add exception" button in FF that would allow me to bypass this warning.
    I've already followed the following links:

    But I didn't managed to get it work. Any idea how to get it fixed?

    I have a better answer, upgrade to version 37 via bug 1138332

  • We are receiving a "Secure Connection Failed" error message when using Firefox Version 37.01. What is the remedy?

    We have multiple websites that do not launch now as a result of the recent upgrade from Firefox version 36.04 to version 37.01. We received "Secure Connection Failed" error messages which indicate that the connection was interrupted while the page was loading, and that the page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please explain why this is happening, and if a fix will be issued soon by Mozilla, as everything was operating normally prior to the most recent Firefox upgrade. Alternatively, please identify browser settings that can/should be changed in order for Firefox to access these basic Internet sites (that are completely accessible using other browsers such as IE and Google Chrome). Thank you.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • I've tried to install a downloaded version of cs5 master collection using the same serial number i used by installing it with the installation dvds and the error message says it's an invalid serial number

    as my adobe cs 5 master collections keeps having icc profiles and visualization issues, i've tried to reinstall the hole package. my mac book pro dvd reader is broken, so i downloaded from the adobe website a master collection and tried to install it with the serial number i used in the former installation but a error messages says that it's an invalid serial number.
    i've already tried to install from the dvd's in another mac and it worked, with the same serial number, so i'm out of solutions.
    any thoughts that may help me?

    Si precisases de qué lugar de Adobe o de otro sitio has descargado....
    Si indicases el nombre del archivo descargado,....
    Respecto a la instalación, repito la lección de ruta es un paso, que puede pasarse por alto, aunque no sé si la instalación convencional reconoce una red entre varios equipos.
    No hay ningun mensaje que indique que descargas una versión u otra, tampoco hay o sale ningun mensaje cuando instalas un programa en chino, eso si, al introducir el no. de serie (que no es el adquirido para la versión en chino) te dice que no es válido y punto. No más explicaciones.
    Asi que por favor explicanos lo preguntado al rincipio, o vuleve a descargar la versión correcta, en el idioma correcto y desde un lugar oficial de Adobe.
    Creo que Adobe te puede facilitar esa descarga a traves de la web "Licensing" con unas claves que te facilitarán si logras ponerte en contacto directo con ellos en tu país, (que tampoco sabemos cúal es). Suerte.

    I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13

    You can activate any two of them at a time, but if you want to use it on a third computer you will need to deactivate one of them before you can do so. To do that, go to Help>Sign Out.

  • I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for

    I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for Premiere. I dont have any other serial numbers. What do I do???

    Static_Unit
    I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
    Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
    Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
    In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
    I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
    The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
    Thanks.

  • Secure Connection Failed: Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert - New problem after website moved to new server.

    My website was migrated to a new cloud server last week and after the move visitors to my site using Firefox have been intermittently receiving the following error when visiting a https:// url.
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to www.url.com
    SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content. (Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert)
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
    Upon a few refreshes the page may load again but often very slowly and often not all images will load.
    The web hosts have tried many things, have had cpanel techs check the server and even set up a new ssl certificate to try and resolve the problem with no luck.
    Researching the internet shows that people have faced this issue when upgrading Firefox or with certain AntiVirus software conflicts.
    However I can't tell all FF visitors to start altering their config files in order to be able to visit my site.
    I don't understand how I didn't have this issue prior to the migration but now something has changed that no one knows how to resolve.
    For reference: I am using FF 28.0 and I am not experiencing this SSL error on any other site other than my own since the migration.
    Does anyone have any information on what the web host may be able to do to fix this SSL issue that only occurs for FireFox users?
    Thank you for any suggestions you may be able to offer.

    Still experiencing this problem and hoping someone may have some ideas to try on the server.

  • "Connection failed" error with time capsule

    I can't access my time capsule. I get a "connection failed" error.  And yet, the WiFi still works.  I've tried resetting and unplugging and re-plugging.

    I've returned home after some time away, and it's back to the Time Capsule problem!
    The Time Capsule Status icon (the clock symbol in the menu bar) was grey - I went into Time Capsule Preferences, chose 'Select Disk' and selected 'Data' as the back-up location (the name of the Time Capsule folder). I then chose 'Backup Now' and the status icon turned black & began turning - with message 'Making Backup disk Available'. A couple of times, nothing happened beyond this - and I received an error message.
    However after restarting my laptop (note I have shut down and restarted a number of times anyway since end November) the 'Making backup disk available' message was quickly followed by 'Calculating Changes...'. Out of interest, Time Machine Prefernces says that Oldest Backup is "--" and Latest Backup is "--". After 5 minutes, the status changed to 'Calculating Changes... (1%)' and at this point I was able to open Time Machine, and move back to previous backups (most recent being 27 November). It went on to showthat it was backing up 24.5 GB, and began this process. Then the status icon switched to a black circle with warning triangle and Time Capsule Preferences now reads;
    Oldest Backup: 27 November 2009
    Latest Backup: Failed
    The error message (in the icon) is:
    Make sure your computer and the backup disk are on the same network, and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up.
    Latest successful backup: 27/11/2009 at 22:17
    Help appreciated!

  • Upgrading from 35 to 36 caused secure connection failed errors

    We have a couple of different applications that our customers suddenly are having issues with on a pair of load balanced web servers after they upgrade to version 36 of Firefox. It worked fine in 35 and still works in Chrome and IE. The error only happens on certain pages within the sites. The exact error is this:
    Secure Connection Failed
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    The exact same apps work fine on other servers with version 36, so I’m guessing it is some kind of a certificate/cipher issue with the server or load balancer. I have searched for this message and see others have similar issues when attempting to upload files but the pages failing don't have any file uploads on them.
    Any suggestions on what to look at?

    After spending some more time browsing around on the forums, I stumbled on this thread:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1050465

    Did you check the connection settings?

    Did you check the settings in security (anti-virus) software?
    You can try to reset (power on/off) the router.
