Firefox does not trust Google or Gmail

Firefox will not access Google or Gmail or even the bits of Mozilla needed for some support functions.
The issue seems to be an unrecognised certificate, tho' Internet Explorer has no problems with the same certificate from these sites.
I have read the various answers to similar questions, which talk about trying to get certificates from other sources etc, but....where? how? Sorry, but it makes no sense to me :-)
If Firefox can't even access Mozilla correctly, what hope is there for the rest of us????

Check the date and time 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.

  • Firefox does not trust a particular secure website that I know is secure but it does trust other secure websites

    Firefox does not trust a specific secure website that I know is secure, but it does trust other secure websites. Also, Internet Explorer trusts this website and Firefox on another computer trusts this same website. When I try to connect Firefox tells me that it does not have a valid certificate (even though I know one exists) and that I would have to make an exception to connect. Is there some way I can correct this and get the proper certificate into this particular Firefox program?

    Can you post a link to that website?
    It is possible that the server doesn't send a required intermediate certificate.
    Firefox stores intermediate certificates that servers send for future use, so if you have visited a website that has send such a certificate then you won't see an error if you visit a server that doesn't send that intermediate certificate.
    You can inspect the certificate chain via a site like this:
    *http://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/site+check/
    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"

  • Firefox does not log out of Gmail/Facebook when window is closed

    I have set each page to not 'keep signed in' for both Gmail and Facebook (have not tried others) and yet when I close firefox and re-open, my pages are still fully logged in.
    I have taken steps to clear cookies and history, close browser, open browser, log into Gmail and Facebook in new sessions and made sure the options to remain logged in were not selected and then closed the browser only to re-open and have my accounts still open.
    Additionally, beyond that I have enabled the clear history when firefox closes option for 'active logins', 'cookies', and 'cache'. Still the sessions persist. This should not be possible. None of the tabs are pinned currently.
    A friend, having the same settings (we think) was finding that Facebook sessions would be logged out, but his Gmail session would still be active for his inbox but attempting to reach account settings would require him to log in. In my experience, I was able to get to the account settings page without having to log in.
    What is going on? How do we get Firefox to behave like it used to (like it should)?

    it's in about:config, browser.sessionstore.privacy_level

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. Idid set the mail to option to Gmail.

    Even though I set Gmail as the mail to setting on the Options tab, firefox does not send links. This started when I updated to the new version of Firefox.

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. I have set Gmail as the mailto option, but did not help

    Firefox does not activate Gmail when I click send link in the menu under File or by right click menu on a webpage. I have set Gmail as the Mail to under options, but this did not help.

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

  • Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

    Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

    If it's an extension, it probably still works just fine with Firefox 5.0. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Trend Micro releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
    Each extension specifies the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.
    The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.

  • Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

    Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The past few days, not exactly sure when, but recently.

    Hello John.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • I have installed Adobe Flash but firefox does not show as plugin

    I have downloaded the most recent versions of Firefox (30.0) and Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe website tells me my flash player is installed and current but Firefox does not show it as a plug in and a site that requires flash player (google finance) to view charts does not work. The place for the chart remains blank after telling me it has loaded.
    Any thoughts?

    When a page is using a plugin, usually an icon similar to a piece of Lego appears in the address bar. You can click the logo to check that Flash is allowed to run on the page, or approve it to run if it isn't.
    I randomly picked a stock and enlarged the chart and got the following URL. Any luck with this one: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1405540800000&chddm=1173&chls=IntervalBasedLine&q=NASDAQ%3AAAPL&ntsp=0&fct=big&ei=YJzGU_iiEZSziALE4oCYCg
    Does it matter whether you view it in a regular tab or in a private window? To view in a private window, right-click the link > Open Link in New Private Window.

  • Add Files java applet does not trust our certificate

    We have installed Novell Filr and it is working great except for one issue. The java applet that runs when the Add Files button is clicked does not trust our certificate authority. We purchased and installed a SSL certificate, and both IE and Firefox accept it (before installing, we got a certificate warning every time we went to Filr).
    The certificate authority is Starfield Secure Certificate Authority, and we use certificates from them for our websites and mail servers, so I do not understand why this applet and/or Java do not.
    Is there any way to stop the scary warning message our users get. FYI - this happens the first time the Add Files button is clicked in each session.

    That sounds a little different than what this was designed to fix, but
    by any chance have you installed the updated Java applets on the Filr
    appliance?

    Hi Paul
    Whatever you do it will not work properly especially when some of the users try to use "edit in place". Save yourself the headache and install trusted certificate (primary and intermediate) then even Java will work ok.

  • Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

    Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • After upgrading to 3.6.4 (english) firefox does not open

    After upgrading to 3.6.4 (english) firefox does not open when I hit its button. I uninstalled it and reintalled it but the problem remains - My operating sys is VISTA 2 service pack. IE works
    Any suggestions?
    == Operating system ==
    VISTA 2 service pack

    I have been using Firefox on a regular basis for many years.
    I have two problems with Firefox 3.6.4.
    First, it keeps crashing....
    I have 4gb of memory on a Windows 7 - HP Laptop and whenever Firefox tries to allocate more than 1.5gb of memory it crashes. What is more interesting is the fact that while Firefox is running on a static page; such, as the google search page...the memory allocation keeps climbing... Even when nothing else is running.....Does anyone see a problem with this. I have tried all the suggestions that I could search for and I have come to one conclusion....the problem is software related and software problems should be fixed with software not by people manually going into an application and toggling something on or off. In other words the mozilla team should be looking at trying to resolve this issue.
    So, what programmer did you guys have write the 3.6.4 memory handler - a person who doesn't understand how to allocate and deallocate memory?
    Just so you know what I have been describing above about Firefox 3.6.4 is a memory leak, and memory leaks are usually a first sign of poorly written code.
    <u></u><u></u><u></u>==
    My Second Issue is in regards to the newest Firefox Update, which prevents me from going to the internet whenever it's installed because it has a flaw with its Network Proxy module. I have to re-install the original Firefox v3.6.4 to fix this problem.
    Solution:
    I'm going back to Internet Explorer because the mozilla team can't fix all these issues. I don't have the time to come up with a work around solutions for an inferior piece of software that is supposed to just allow me to browse the internet at anytime....

  • Firefox does not remember my history or bookmarks or anything after i go to a new page or website

    When I go to a new page (for example from Google.com to Youtube.com or with any other website), Firefox does not remember the history or bookmarks or any other information that I just used. I cannot go back to the page i was at before because it won't remember my history. I tried all the steps that it told me to do when i clicked on more info in the red bar that said "Firefox will not remember your history or bookmarks because it is in use by another application" but it sill didn't work.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />
