For whatever reason Firefox keeps displaying the "Untrusted Connection" error due to my company's firewall.

I have at least three dozen instances of adding a certificate override for google (Logged on Certificates/Other) and it pops up every time I start the browser. Furthermore now it's no longer giving the override option, instead only giving me the technical details and the "get me out of here" without the override option. There's no way to make the company's site overall accepted as a security certificate so it requires adding an exception to most sites I go to and it's really annoying and is causing me problems at work. Switching to chrome may have to happen if I cannot even access my e-mail using this browser. I had to launch it just to register on the forums for gods sake! Why can't I override the security certificates for my company's firewall?!

Best would be to get the root certificate of that firewall and install this certificate in Firefox and set the appropriate trust bits.
Do other browsers like IE also have this problem as it is possible that this root certificate has been installed for IE, but not for Firefox?
Which firewall is used?
You can try to contact the IT department to see if they have a solution for Firefox.

Why would Firefox give me an "Untrusted Connection" error where IE and Chrome don't?

I get an Untrustead connection error in Firefox when accessing https://eponline.mom.gov.sg/epol/. Both IE and Chrome trust the site. What's different about Firefox?

This Connection Is Untrusted error message may appear when trying to visit secure (https) websites in Firefox.
It Appears in Google Chrome also..

I keep getting an "untrusted connection" warning for nearly every url including my banks and have to go through the "confirm exception" etc steps. How can I keep having to go through this?????

I keep getting the untrusted connection warning and have to go thru all these freaking steps to get access and it happens OVER and OVER again for the EXACT same sites. One example is below citibank.com. MY BANK. EVERY TIME.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.citibank.com

Hi there, I was getting the same type problems whenever connecting to a secure site. The problem was caused by my PC's clock. I had manually set the date back a few years to test an app that I was developing. As soon as I corrected the time, all connections were OK again.

HT1338 For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail on G5 with Charter. Would like to try Thunderbird (TB) -now using Firefox 3.6.28. But can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions of TB. Other alternatives

For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail 3.6 on my mac G5 with Charter ISP. I would like to try Thunderbird (TB) - I'm now using Firefox 3.6.28. But I can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions of TB. Can you suggest a URL for down loading older versions of TB, or, other alternative email programs?

I have recently moved from Thunderbird to SeaMonkey - much better and up to date with the latest Mozilla code.
See my SeaMonkey page at: http://links.zero.eu.org/seamonkey/
For PPC - download the latest SeaMonkey-ppc from:
https://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/downloads/list
For Intel - download normal SeaMonkey from:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Old versions of Thunderbird can be found here:

The latest Thunderbird for PPC is 3.1.20.

For whatever reason, I am frequently getting delays in seeing the characters after I type.

For whatever reason, I am frequently getting delays in seeing the characters after I type when using Firefox- ie- Firefox, G mail, etc- but not when using other apps like Skype. I have downloaded the latest add-ons and Flow Scroll w no improvement and moved the remote sensor closer to the keyboard and changed the batteries numerous times but because the issue is with only certain programs I wonder if it is Firefox that is having the problem? Thanks in advance for your help~ Jim

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

That's not quite the proper way as far as I can tell. Usually, one boots directly into the Recovery HD using COMMAND and R keys at startup. If you cannot do that then most likely there is a problem with the hard drive. Since this is a new computer i would make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

For some reason Firefox is not asking if I wish to save the user name and password anymore. Please help as to why.

I have been getting a "Untrusted Connection" error on Firefox randomly for the past 4 weeks, what could be causing it?

For the past about 4 weeks I've have been randomly getting an untrusted connection error whenever i try to search something on google.com or using the google search bar. It will happen for about 5-10 mins then will go away. This will happen across 3 different computers (both mac and pc) and will also happen on Chrome, sometimes at the same time sometimes different times. I've searched around and tried pretty much everything i can think of. The date/time is correct on all computers, cache has been cleared, everythings up to date, contacted the ISP and the router companies and they say its not them so i'm at a complete loss.
Any advice or help would be much appreciated!

Did you check the issuer of the certificate and other details?
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 it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone. For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named

I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone. For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named with letters and numbers. Why is the IPhone creating additional "calendars"? I only asked for one to be set-up. I don't understand, I have to go into the calendar settings daily and uncheck these un-asked for calendars. Help!

Mine is doing the same thing. I deleted the whole account from the mail settings and it got rid of most of the extra calendars. But there are still 2 gibberish ones left.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in OR convert it to SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
Regards.

HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

For whatever reason Firefox keeps displaying the "Untrusted Connection" error due to my company's firewall.
