Can't access SSL site in Firefox.

A am attempting to access a Cisco server with a self-signed certificate. I can access it in MSIE.
When I try to access the server, I get the Firefox error “This Connection is Untrusted”.
I choose the option to “Add Exception”.
The following dialog box says; “Valid Certificate. There is no need to add an exception”, and does not give me the ability to “Confirm Security Exception” like it normally would. My only option is to “cancel” and go back to the previous error “This Connection is Untrusted”.
How do I get Firefox to allow me to access this web server?
== URL of affected sites ==
http:// private

Yes! This is exactly my problem today. I keep getting "This Connection is Untrusted" for a server with a "wrong domain" certificate. (We're using https to get SSL encryption, not authentication.)
Normally, I click "I understand the risks" and tell it to "permanently store this exception", and it lets me through, at least for an hour.
Long-term problem: I've done this about two hundred times over the last several years, and it *still* coughs up this warning about one out of three attempts. (Yes, the system time is correct on my laptop. No, I don't do anything complicated about restoring settings or deleting cookies or anything like that.) I need a "really, really, REALLY permanently store this exception" button, not the "maybe sometimes store this exception for a while" button.
Today's problem:
I'm trying to get to foo.bar.com.
It chokes on an "untrusted" certificate, claiming that the certificate is valid only for www.bar.com. When I click it reloads the certificate and says... "This site provides valid, verified information"... to baz.bar.com.
Okay, so let's reload the page... and I'm back to "This Connection is Untrusted" — it's unhappy about the www.bar.com certificate again.
Seriously, I've done this cycle more than a dozen times in the last hour. How the heck do I get it to let me through to my server? And in the bigger picture, will we ever have a setting that says, "When going to foo.bar.com, just use SSL and do not even ask for the bleeping certificate"?

I can't access a site in Firefox but can in other browsers even when I copy and paste address. It pulls up a different site.

This is the address http://www.coupons.com/coupons/?pid=16141&nid=10&zid=dt75
It should be Publix Paws coupons but instead it pulls up what is located on http://www.coupons.com/
The site pulls up fine on Explorer and Chrome. I just installed Firefox.

Please help. my address bar has vanished. i have no idea how to retrieve it, so can only access bookmarked sites when using firefox.

please help. my address bar has vanished. i have no idea how to retrieve it, so can only access bookmarked sites when using firefox.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Can't access some sites when using Aiport Express, why?

I'm using Windows 7 and my router is a wireless Apple Airport Express that is approximately two years old. Suddenly I can't access some sites (for example www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se, or www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk, some streamed tv-shows on svtplay.se, and a number of other random sites) when connecting to internet with my router. It worked good until recently and I'm fairly sure this problem emerged when my ISP upgraded from 10/10mbit to 100/10mbit speed. Most other sites like facebook and google works fine.
When using my network cable to connect to internet everything works fine and I can access these sites.
Firmware is current and I've tried reseting the router to factory defaults.
Tried different browsers, and I can't ping the "blocked" sites either. Tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se starts with 10.0.0.1 and continues through a number of long addresses until it says timeout. The last working address before timeout was sth-tcy-ipcore01-ge-0-2-0.neq.dgcsystems.net [83.241.252.13], if it matters. Tracert www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk also eventually gives me a timeout.
When the network cable is plugged in, I still get timeout on tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se even though I can access the site in Chrome. Weird. www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk doesn't give me a tracert timeout when the cable is plugged in, and I can access the site as usual.
I've tried changing DNS servers to use opendns servers instead, but to no use.
I've tried pinging these two sites with a lower MTU packet size (with this method: http://www.richard-slater.co.uk/archives/2009/10/23/change-your-mtu-under-vista- or-windows-7/), but still can't access them through ping...
I don't know what to do anymore.... any suggestions???
Thanks

if the above does not help check with a few malware/virus scan programs for virus. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure to update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.

Can't access some sites on DSL - Westell 37W or Verizon connection issue?

I've been experiencing a problem with Verizon's DSL service for the last few days. I have a brand new Dell Dimension with Windows XP hooked up a Westell 327W router (hard - wired) and other laptops running both Vista and XP. All of a sudden, all the users on the same network can't access certain sites. I initially uninstalled AVG on my computer thinking that may have something to do with blocking these websites (aa.com, orbitz.com), and then I realized that some of the laptops don't have any anti-virus programs and still have the same problem. The only thing in common is that they run on the same network off of the same router. Which is when I called Verizon, only to hear from them that they don't block websites, and that the problem is something related to the computer. When I tried explaining that other users also have the same problem (and it is only within the last 5 days), they still won't accept that something is wrong with the router/DSL connection. I checked the firewall settings for the router and they are turned off. Can someone please help me? Am I wrong in assuming that the problem is on Verizon's side?

I appear to be having the same problem (erratic browser connections) as you guys. I was speaking with a tech support person last night who after having me replace Internet Explorer with Firefox (and still having the same issues) told me that the problem was with my computer. I reside in North Jersey as well. This morning, while riding to work I was speaking with a bus-mate and told him about my internet problem. He lives a few blocks away and told me that he has been experiencing the same thing for about a week and that he knows of another person with the same issue. So it appears to me that it’s some sort of Verizon problem. I tried to recap things and send them an e:mail a little earlier, but I think it fell on deaf eyes. I will try to call them later this evening and will report back to this forum tomorrow.

Safari Mac can't access web site that Windows can

None of my Macs can access the site http://cards.123greetings.com . I get Can't Find Server messages in both Safari and Firefox. (Clearing caches doesn't help)
cards.123greetings.com is part of a large free card site that did a major upgrade in October. It still renders correctly on a PC running Windows XP Home which runs on the same network as the Macs, so it's not an isp problem.
Since both Macs (G4 iBook running 10.3, MacBook running 10.4) have the same Can't Find Server problem with both Safari and Firefox, it appears that some setting in the Macs themselves is causing this.
Any help or insight would really be appreciated - Thanks!

A big Thank You to Mulder for letting me know that you can access the site (with Mac Safari I presume) - That's good news.
The bad news: I still can't access the site.
The problem affects two separate computers and four browers. Taking your advice, I repaired permissions and logged in as a new account on both machines. Unfortunately that didn't work.
I next tried accessing the site on the MacBook through Parallels running Windows XP Home. The site came up fine using Internet Explorer.
Then I realized that Parallels operates with a different ip address. So I went back on the Mac using a proxy, and the site came right up.
It now seems that the ip addresses of both computers are being blocked at some level. I want to thank Mulder for replying and virtually ruling out that it might be a Safari issue. I'm now "off topic" and will no longer post in this section. But I'm also over my head... If anyone has advice about how to proceed now, I'd truly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Strange WLAN issue - can't access secure sites

Hi!
I've just bought a Toshiba L100-120. Everything is fine except the following.
I can't access secure sites with the built-in Intel 3945abg device. Other sites are OK.
If i connect LAN, everything is fine. If I insert my PCMCIA-wireless card, also everything works. The only problem is: to access secure sites with the Intel wireless device.
I already changed the drivers, I tried everything. It's very strange :(
Many thanks if anybody has an idea!!!!

Hi
Im a little bit confused. Do you mean the secured WLan or secured internet websites????
If you cannot enter the secured, encrypted WLan you need to enter the right key.
In other case if some websites are not displayed you could try to change the IE privacy settings for the Internet zone.

I can't access a site on Mozilla (or in Chrome, IE) but I could before. What can I do?

I can access the site in question on other computers but not my work computer but I could before.

Is this a secure site (https) or a normal http link?
Can you access the site via Google translate with a random source language via an http link?

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Can't Access One Site - Common Threads

I have recently been hit by the unable to access one site problem.
Having read through all the threads, it seems many people are identifying it as a possible DNS issue; however, it seems that almost all of the issues are with people who are hosting their own web servers off-site.
I was hoping this thread could gather information from people who are having/had this issue?
1) Was the inaccessible site self-hosted?
2) Did you have any server changes, etc?
3) Have you solved the issues, how?
Hopefully this gets to the bottom of things.

There is one site that I am aware of that I can not access using my Airport. I have narrowed down the issue to the Airport so far. When I bypass the Airport, the web site connects. Both my Macbook and two PC's can not access this site if I connect via the Airport. I have reset, powered down, booted the modem, worked with Norton and Comcast: still no fix.
I tried changing settings in the utility tool that were suggested on the boards here and still no correction. If anyone has an idea, please post here. Thanks. If I find a correction, I will post here.

Can't access certain sites only on firefox even after reinstalling

Hi,
Today I couldn't access certain sites like my university site and google (had to use yahoo to search). I tried restarting FF in safe mode, reseted FF to factory settings, deleted FF and erased all its data and reinstalled FF23.......
But it still doesn't solve the problem. I have no problems accessing these same sites with another browser. When I access these sites with FF, with by clicking search on my search bar or clicking a bookmark or hyperlink, FF just gives me no response, as if I didn't click anything. If I click to open the link in a new tab, it just displays a blank tab as if I've just pressed Ctrl + T
Can anyone help me with this please? Thanks.

Hello ashash, check if your firewall or your security software blocks firefox access for the specific sites.
thank you

When I click on a site in google adverts appear and I can't access the site

Every site I search for and then click on, adverts come up, not the site I'm looking for, and it won't let me access them. I've only tried this in google so far but will try others.

Hello HowardCB
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Can't access some sites after doing all suggestions using FF 15 and XP SP3..What to do?

Shut off anti-virus software, including firewall. Tried all settings of
proxy selections; cleared cache, etc...all things advised on this site
and elsewhere. Reset Firefox. Quit Firefox and tried IE. Nadda.
Been trying to access some sites and fix the problem for about a
month, now.
Hell, I can't even access mosilla forums.
