Firefox won't allow me to open what it thinks is an untrusted link but I trust it and want to open it.

Our enterprise communication uses Microsoft Lync but when I attempt to join a meeting I get the untrusted connection message and no button to let me open the connection. I end up using IE. In IE when I get an untrusted connection it will allow me to continue at my own risk. I like that because I know what I'm connecting to and understand risk.
I already tried setting to "No Proxy" as described on another thread.

Here is the deal. It is a trusted connection. Firefox thinks it isn't. I don't have the problem with Internet Explorer. As far as suppressing the exception button ... WHY? If I want to accept the risk and go forward it's my business. All of this is transpiring behind the government firewall and Lync is one of our enterprise solutions hosted internally. Anything within va.gov is trusted. Firefox has decided this to be NOT the case.
Technical Details:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to vaphcclblweb.rtc.va.gov, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
vaphcclblweb.rtc.va.gov uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

  • Won't allow me to open new tabs

    Firefox won't allow me to open new tabs anymore. When I click on the "open new tab" icon, nothing happens. How can I restore this feature to normal operation?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar add-on. It has a known compatibility issue with Firefox. See this article on the uninstallation steps: [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

    Bridge won't allow me to open Camera Raw because a qualifying product has not been launched, any suggestions?

    Actually, it may be more to it. I just wasted good 7 hours on the issue: I transferred a big external drive from old WinXp system to my new W7 system, and faced the ownership mayhem ever since.
    No matter what I did to the Volume Owner, Files Owner and attributes, recursive Directory Ownership jobs enduring tens of minutes at a time, nothing helped really.
    Because you might have one more issue:
    Use "Folder Options", either from Tools menu in Explorer, if menu shows, or via Control Panel.
    Click on View tab, and find the box for "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)". Ignore that recommendation, uncheck.
    Go now to the root directory of your troubled drive and you will see a hidden file "System Volume Information". This can be the "bad guy." Ensure that you have access to that file using the Properties / Security tab in a customary fashion! In my case that file was "padlocked", a small lock icon was placed over the folder icon to indicate that.
    Only once I changed that, I was able to access the LR catalogs as a regular user. And only than LR was finally able to access existing previews and to display the grid image icons!
    Ugrh.... Windows, the "personal computer system" is a mess, a labyrinth of convoluted intertwined dependencies, maybe created in competing departments and piled up atop of each other in an unseemly fashion. Compared to Unix and its derivatives it is a nightmare, which is a part of our lives for decades already.
    I think that all the Apple users are now double-happy to have made the transition, when they see such "problems."

  • Firefox won't allow me to Upload a video from "MY Video's" recorded on an iPhone 4

    Firefox won't allow me to Upload a video from "MY Video's" recorded on an iPhone 4

    You generally need Perian for FLV and AVI files, and the free version of Flip4Mac for WMA or WMV files. Some files simply can't be opened on the Mac.

  • My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages.

    My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages. I tap the picture, then it just goes to a "thinking" screen and says "Restoring..."
    I tried restarting, but it still won't allow me to open pictures.
    Please help!!

    My iPhone 5 is also having this problem. I just received it2 days ago and it would let me open mms messages, but ever since yesterday it will have a loading screen and never let me see it. I've just been having to save my picture into my camera roll and view it that way

  • I just received this message: "*** Collection __NSArrayM: 0x610004449540 was mutated while being enumerated."  and it won't allow me to open or place any documents FROM photoshop but.......

    I just received this message: "*** Collection <__NSArrayM: 0x610004449540> was mutated while being enumerated."  and it won't allow me to open or place any documents FROM photoshop but I can open files from finder into photoshop. HELP! I just recently got a new iMac and have faced this problem before, we thought it was a permissions error from where we rebooted the computer from. Because of this we just wiped the computer and recently re-installed everything. Now 2 days after re-installing all programs including photoshop I'm receiving these errors. Why is this happening and how can I fix it!?

    ok, i've just run a specific test.
    1 - Online, ensure that mail is sync'd
    2 - Disable network connection, confirm that mail has moved to offline mode
    3 - Delete 20 messages in a folder
    4 - Conifm they have been deleted (whilst still offline)
    5 - Re-enable network connection, leave machine alone for 5 minutes
    6 - Confirm that messages haven't been deleted and are still in the folder untouched
    7 - Whilst still online, try to delete one or more of the messages, they vanish for a moment, then re-appear
    8 - ***
    Can replicate this at will......surely this isn't just me?
    Seems I'm back to Outlook again

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar

  • TS3694 I try to update my iPhone 5 but in the middle of the way error 1603 didnot allow me I did every thing that I read about it but in every computer and updated one it is the same and now I am in DUF mood and my phone can not start what I must to do

    The program is for replacement since Apple does not repair iDevices...you take your non-working or damaged iPhone to an Apple store genius bar, or send to Apple service, and they provide a refurbished unit as a replacement, for a fee, of course.  You will have to talk with Apple to see if you get all components or just the iPhone replaced.
    With AppleCare+ you can have two out-of-warranty replacements for a cost of $49 each.

  • I am getting a runtime error message that won't allow itunes to open when I plug in my ipod.  Any suggestions?? I already rebooted my computer.  It worked fine yesterday.

    I am getting a run time error message that I've never seen before, it won't allow me to connect my ipod touch with windows.  It says:  An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    I have no idea what this means but it was working fine yesterday when I connected it. 
    I have rebooted my computer and nothing has been fixed.

    Did you do this:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

  • Firefox won't allow sites to load

    Too many sites won't load until I click the "allow" bar. I want Firefox to stop doing this so I can access sites without clicking allow every time. How do I do this?
    I am using windows xp and I did not have this problem with Internet Explorer.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • I can't get rid of pop-up ads, even though Firefox isn't allowing them to open, a new screen appears.

    As of a few days ago, almost every web site I visit, after the page opens, another screen opens with firefox asking to allow another site to open. It is an ad of some sort as I have opened 1 or 2 to check them out. I've been on a site with a catalog with multiply pages to go thru and every time I hit the next page, another pop up. I've checked off the options box to stop pop up's, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Firefox has stopped allowing me to open downloads from websites or yahoo e-mail - I can only save them

    This week my browser has stopped allowing me to open and view PDF downloads whether they are from a website or an e-mail. I am no longer given the save or open option when accessing these file types.

    Try going to "Tools" at the top of your screen. Then go to "options" and then to "applications". Scroll down the list of "Content type" until you come to Adobe Acrobat Document. Click on the "action" to the right of this line item and choose Adobe Acrobat (or whichever program you want to open the document with). And then click "OK" at the bottom of the screen.
    Sometimes when you install a Firefox update, it will delete this setting, and then you have to go back in here to re-set your preferences.

  • When adding bookmarks and trying to changing its name, Firefox won't allow using the mouse; Firefox will only allow using the arrow keys (MAC OS 10.5, Firefox 3.6.8)

    When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long. I used to be able to use my mouse, highlight the letters/words that I don't want, then use delete to truncate the desired bookmark name. Since the latest update/upgrade, Firefox won't let me use the mouse to click anywhere in the popup box. I can only use the arrow keys and the delete key.
    Nothing other than updates (using Mac Software Update and Firefox Update) has been done to this computer (it's a 2002 Power Mac G4-Dual 1.25GHz).
