Firefox suddenly stopped allowing access to Https sites, saying the sites are untrusted. Chrome and ie allow them. What's up?

Windows 7 64 bit
ESET antivirus
The sites in question are all sites that I've used frequently, they are trusted. When I read the details on the warning page at least one site had a valid certificate based on the dates. The reasons given are not all "expired" there are several others. Here's another example:
www.bankofamerica.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
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.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
Some examples are ESET and Bitdefender.
*ESET setup -> advanced setup -> extend web and email tree -> SSL
*SSL protocol: Do not scan SSL protocol
\*BitDefender -> Privacy settings -> disable Scan SSL

Firefox has stopped loading web pages. I says the the page is "done" but it is still blank.

I had to contact you with Google Chrome because I can't open any pages with Firefox.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:

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 and the plugin-container 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.

TS3899 When I try to access my email it says the connection to server failed. Does anyone know what this means?

I'm trying to access my email and it tells me it cannot access the server

Lots of possibilities:
The server is down (likely if it has worked up until now)
You did not enter the server name correctly in setting it up
You misspelled your login name
The passcode you entered is incorrect
The port you entered is not supported by the server
The server requires SSL and you did not enable it
The server does not support SSL and you DID enable it
The network you are using is blocking access to email servers

Firefox suddenly stopped working blocking evenb safari- why? what has gone wrong, under feed back ?http?

Firefox suddenly stopped working with Mac OS 10.6.8- keeps blocking even Safari- will jot download , open pdf file downloads-- wasted a lot of time of several University experts- we can't locate work out why- x3 quit everything, download, reinstalled twice, machine switch on/off- something seriously wrong and wasting alot of time.
It had been working faultless for years- recently iMAC 1TB disc was changed by Apple under their programme of exchange for 'free'- it has not worked since!!!!
Many thanks

On PDF issues, disable the Adobe Acrobat plugin so that PDFs open in Apple's own native PDF reader instead.
Firefox menu bar: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins category
I don't understand the part about blocking Safari. Can you describe that problem in more detail?

I find it ABSOLUTELY unacceptable that since recently safari opens up random "commercial websites" without me clicking on any link. And it does that without allowing me to go (back) to the site I really clicked on. STOP THAT!!!!!!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

The volume on imovie09 suddenly stopped working. How can I fix the audio volume?

The volume on imovie09 suddenly stopped working. How can I fix the audio volume?
I have no idea what triggered this. Other projects work with volume. But my current project will play the audio but no volume. HELP please.

How exactly stopped working? Three things to try
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

hello adzuki45, you already appear to run the latest version of firefox, so this shouldn't be a cause for concern, maybe your desktop shortcut is just misnamed).
when there's a problem with installing flash, please see if it works with the full installer that is available at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_header

CS4 Illustrator suddenly stopped saving my guides when I save the file? How to fix?

?

Thanks- I find this website rather unwieldy-I will bookmark your link. I've used Illustrator since 1994 so i don't usually have a lot of questions. But in CS4 I find that all kinds of things suddenly happen when I roll my mouse over the wrong area .
I had put all my guides on the bottom layer and the whole layer totally disappeared when I reopened the file. It happened twice so I finally just redid and locked the templete layer without converting it to a guide.

Phishing Warning on my Site But the Site is Not Phishing - HELP!

Hi I have a client's website that I do work for and she is getting a Phising warning on her Macbook when she tried to go to here website using Safari. Which is http://www.SandeNelson.com I don't get this message on my Mac Mini (using Safari, Firefox or Chrome), or on my iPhone, or on my windows computer (using Safari, Firefox, Chrome or Interent Explorer). I've also checked the site with Google Webmaster Tools and it checks out clean. And I checked Google's Safe Browsing tool http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.sandenelson.com as well as PhishTank.com and all checks out as clean. Additionally I still see traffic (visitors) to the site in Google Analytics. So it seems like other people are able to view the site and not getting this warning. So this leads me to think it's only happening on my client's computer... I'm not sure though?
My client says she is still getting messages that say the site is Phishing when using this Macbook and Safari. Can someone else check and let me know?
Also I believe she might have entered her email address into the address bar of Safari one time trying to get to here email - thinking that was now to access her email. Could this have something to do with it? Would that make the Phising warning only appear on that one specific Macbook/Safari?
Thanks, we're going crazy over this trying to get it figure out!

She probably installed some kind of third-party "security" software that's blocking the site for some reason. She would have to come here and ask for help directly to determine that.

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
Cheers,
Patrick

Is there any way to recover files when the back up catalog has been deleted accidently. I can see a preview of the photos, but I cannot access or edit them. They say "the folder cannot be located" and "the photo is missing". I have gone through multipl

I can see a preview of the photos, but I cannot access or edit them. They say "the folder cannot be located" and "the photo is missing". I have gone through multiple Adobe tutorials to try and recover them to no avail. Any tips?

Backup catalogs wouldn't have helped with this problem anyway, but naturally, you shouldn't delete backup catalogs for a while.
The solution to reconnecting the folders is given here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.
