Firefox keeps telling its own add on site is untrusted

It keeps popping up with the this site is untrusted when I try to go to the add on site and does the same for the support site and constantly gives me pop ups

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. 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 "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".
*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.

I have the latest edition of the Flash player and it works fine with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I can play things because I dont have it

Since I updated Firefox I cant play anything that requires Flash player. I have the up to date player and it works perfectly with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I need another plug in and when I follow the instructions it says 'download failed try manual download' but even that fails too.
Before I updated Firefox I had no issues, can you help
Alan.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box

Firefox keeps telling me that I have an outdated Firefox, I keep downloading Firefox 4, but Firefox keeps repeating the outdated message. How do I activate Firefox 4?

I do not understand what more information you require. I have downloaded Firefox 4 four times, but Firefox keeps telling me that I am using an outdated Firefox!

Please do the following. 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

Running 10.4.11 I can not find the outdated plugins that Firefox keeps telling me I need. Apple Software Update doesn't help with this

I'm running 10.4.11 and am unable to find the plugin updates that Firefox keeps telling me I need on an annoying little popup window that keeps coming up whenever I download a page using Firefox. The pluin updates I need are for Quicktime, Java to name a few. Is Apple not supplying any more plugin update because I'm using an old version of Mac OSX? The firefox plugin page tells me that Apple supppies their own plugins but I don't see any when I use Apple Software Update. Any suggestions?

Do what others do and get TenFourFox - the equivalent of the latest Firefox but built especially for PPC: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
To enable plug-ins:
Put about:config in TenFourFox's address bar and hit return
Put tenfourfox.plugins in the search box and hit return
Click tenfourfox.plugins.enabled to set it to true
Restart TenFourFox
TenFourFox will now use the Safari Flash plug-in

I've completed the new security download routine 3 times, and Firefox keeps telling me I need to download again.

I've downloaded the new security patch 3 times in the last couple of weeks, put it in my applications and from there onto the dashboard, and Firefox keeps telling me that I need to download it again. This is crazy... Firefox can't recognize it's own application???

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I have a strange problem with Firefox 26 where every time I have access to the Web using the (e-mail - my password) to log on to those sites, but Firefox keeps logs my out "of those sites? This happens when I close the browser or restart my machine?

Maybe also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Firefox keeps telling me i've lost a secure connection!

firefox doesn't even trust its own websites.....it keeps interfering with whatever i'm doing by telling me the site is untrusted and even when i tell it to accept the site it won't let me continue on.

May or may not be the issue but make sure your calendar date on your Windows XP is set properly.

Firefox keeps refusing to connect me to sites I've visited many times and are secure, I press 'allow' sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, what do I do?

Firefox recently started stating in a black bar across the top
"firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" allow
sometimes when I press 'allow' it does, other times even on sites I've used many many times in the past, and know they are secure, such as my Uni library account, it just keeps coming up with the same bar.
Can anybody help me get rid of it? preferably for good! It's just slowing me down, and is infuriating. Also my energy account 'Scottish Power', now has to be opened in Safari, as firefox just logs me out within seconds, Scottish Power themselves told me to use Safari instead, and that works fine, but I am used to firefox and would prefer to keep it, it's becoming more and more difficult to use, WHY?
Have taken screen shot and was expecting a 'browse' box, but no, so cannot upload picture either.When I tried to install the troubleshooting recommended below, firefox won't allow it as insecure! Isn't it a bit over the top when it thinks its own site insecure? what on earth is going on?

How do I stop Firefox from opening its own homepage tab on top of my homepage?

Firefox keeps opening up its own website in my browser on top of my own home page even though I have reset the home page numerous times. Everytime I open firefox I have to reset my home page which works for a half-day or so and then ... we're back to the Firefox homepage. How do I keep Firefox from hijacking my browser?
P.S. I've tried all the stuff that's recommended -- resetting my homepage, etc ... and I'm just getting tired of having to do this. This is getting so irritating I'm going to stop using Firefox and start using another browser.

I am having a similar problem, I'm using "Show my home page" on start-up but firefox decides to always open to the last page visited regardless. I also generally close Firefox using the red X or with alt+f4. This problem is especially annoying when the last page 'visited' is an annoying pop-up ad that wasn't been caught by the pop-up blocker.

Firefox Restarting On Its Own

Hello,
I'm using version 30.0 (I think, it's hard to find without the status/tool bar anymore) on a Win7 laptop. I usually have a lot of tabs open tracking various things as I'm working. Once a week or so, like just now, I go to lunch or step away from the laptop a few minutes, and when I come back, Firefox has apparently rebooted itself. That meant all my tabs go away (with my required work settings on History), which is supremely annoying and wastes my time. My bosses have been pushing for Chrome, and I've resisted. But I can't keep justifying these delays.
What can I do to ensure that FF doesn't shut down on its own anymore?
Thank you,
George

WHY does my cursor decide on its own to go sit somewhere OTHER than where I just got finished typing? I see it in Yahoo mail, and Facebook. It STINKS.

I type a lot of stuff, but I'm a one-fingered typist. I very often look up to proof-read what I just entered on my laptop screen, and I see it's been jumbled, with words cut-up and cut-off, but the word and the sentence have been inserted (as if cut-and-pasted) u a discussion board I like to visit and contribute to. (It's called: Mutual Fund Observer.)p further, where they don't belong. And I did not type that stuff in that particular spot!
This happens in Yahoo mail, in Facebook, and also on
DING! It JUST NOW HAPPENED AGAIN. Can you see what I mean? This is enough to make someone angry in a big way. It STINKS. I hope you can find a "fix" for this!
Now let me back up and finish this message AS INTENDED!

It is as if the mouse or the laptop has decided on its own to go and relocate the cursor where it feels like putting it. This is terribly frustrating. It makes me want to scream.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Firefox keeps telling me I need to update by Adobe Reader plugin but I've done it 3 times, even uninstalled and reinstalled Reader and still tells me need update plugin. Why?

Plugin updater come us every time I open Firefox. It keeps telling me that I need to update Adobe Reader vs 10. etc

Installing SQL server for SCCM 2012 local vs on its own server (primary site enviorment only)

Hello,
When building a primary stand alone site server does Microsoft consider it best practice to install sql locally or on its own server. Is there an official statement from Microsoft suggesting this?
Thanks ins advance
Phil
Phil Balderos

There is no official statement either way from Microsoft as both configurations are fully supported. Generally speaking, it is easier to collocate SQL on the same system as the Primary Site so long as the server meets the hardware recommendations.
Among the trade-offs are reduced network traffic vs avoiding a single point of failure for the site itself. Since the CM site license also includes the license for SQL, licensing is not really an issue.

My Google Homepage IE recognizes an Adobe Flash and my Firefox Google needs its own. Also, I may wish to cancel my Firefox entirely...will anything about that conflict w/a Thunderbird Mozilla internal feature email program, and/or Gmail? Thanks.

Thank you for reading the above question as it is, plus: I lost my Thunderbird computer internal email feature & was new & did not know how to put Yahoo or other into that function. I signed up for Mozilla Firefox for my Toshiba PC laptop, really liked it, but do not really use it. I restored my Thunderbird program, using Gmail for it...the Yahoo had failed. If I decide to delete my Firefox will that malaffect my Thunderbird Mozilla? Also, for some reason unknown to me, my Firefox does not recognize to use the Adobe Flash in my computer and requires its own...'usual? (I just deleted one of two carried.) Thanks. Lynn

First, Firefox and Thunderbird are separate programs. You can use one or the other or both. If you decide to uninstall Firefox, that should not have any ill effect on Thunderbird, but of course it's a good idea to make regular backups of your computer just in case.
Second, Internet Explorer uses a proprietary Flash player, so you do need a different one for Firefox. If you visit Adobe's "about" page using Firefox, it will push the correct plugin to you.
