I am so tired of firefox telling me "This Connection is Untrusted"!!!!!!!!
'''I am so tired of firefox telling me "This Connection is Untrusted"!!!!!!!!''' I'm tired of having to add exceptions, I'm tired of the extra tiny lag time of loading while it checks sites, I'm tired of typing the URL I want into the URL window only to look up to see that the lag time has now caused my cursor to stop typing in the URL window and start searching in my Google homepage halfway through my typing!!
Firefox, '''GIVE US A CHOICE of whether we want secure browsing on or off''' or I am OFF YOU and onto another browser!!!~~!!~!~!!!~!!! Quit forcing things on us like Facebook does with no options to opt in or out if we so choose.
Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Secure+Connection+Failed
Rename the file cert8.db to cert8.db.old in the Firefox Profile Folder to remove all intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored by visiting secure websites.<br />
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed file cert8.db.old unless you have user certificates that you may want to export first and import them in the new file.<br />
Otherwise you can restore the certificates by renaming (copying) the file back to cert8.db<br />
Firefox will automatically store new intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send them.<br />

My FireFox Keeps Saying This Connection Is Untrusted
It Happened After I Reset FireFox.
hello, first please make sure that the date & time is set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page & inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
thank you!

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted". Even when I do accept the risks the site no longer looks the way it's looked for years. Twitter doesn't even give me the option to accept the risks at all and shows this error (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried resetting Firefox, I've checked the time and date, and I've removed and added Firefox to see if that would work. Nothing seems to be working so I can see the sites the way they normally would be instead of "coded". Can anybody help me please?!!! Thanks
ok, unfortunately the fiddler2.com issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
<sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

This started for me 1/17/2011 on the savingsbank.com website:
Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site https://www.savingsbank.com
NO other browsers - Explorer, Chrome, Safari - give this error box on this site. Please advise if this has to do with the bank site? or Firefox compatibility.
Saw in a forum someone else having this problem and they were told it had to do with their Date and time being off?? I've been on several computers, all with the correct date and time and they've all shown this Insecure Certificate statement on my bank site with Firefox and no other browser.I've looked at the banking site with IE8 and it does NOT show me that "This connection is Untrusted" window. (please see attached screen shot of viewing the site with IE8) It opens fine and has "Identified by Network Solutions" showing on the address bar as it always does.
The latest version of Opera (not earlier ones) does show a problem with the website's security certificate.
We've contacted the bank about this, and they say there's no problem with their certificate but are looking into it.
My question remains, why only Firefox and one version of Opera claim this and NO other browser? -
We have QA automation jobs that invoke user interface tests in Firefox running on a virtual Linux host.
My tests perform regression, but I'm held up because of the Firefox This Connection is Untrusted warning.
My current requirement is to ignore this connection untrusted warning, which comes up when accessing an HTTPS website and i want this to be disabled through either a shell or a Perl script.
I can do this manually using the steps below, but this will not work for my current problem since the virtual Linux hosts are created dynamically on submission of automation jobs.
Go to Tools > Options > Advanced "Tab"(?) > Encryption Tab Click the "Validation" button, and uncheck the checkbox for checking validity.
Is there any Perl or shell script that disables this certificate warning?There might be an add on to accomplish this:

I use Mozilla Firefox and have never had difficulty before, but today I got 'this connection is untrusted' when trying to open iCloud. There was no option to override this.
The Technical Details said:
www.icloud.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
Help!Clear your history/cookies and stuff like that on Firefox and then retry. If that doesn't work try restarting the computer or accessing iCloud via Google Chrome or Safari for the time being. I feel your pain, I love Firefox.

Every time i go to a secure website using firefox latest version i get an error saying "This Connection is Untrusted" This was never there before and now its appearing. My computer clock and date is correct and i have tested out all plugins that they are updated. Also did a scan on all viruses and spyware nothing there any help please.
Sorry, I didn't look at all the images.
You can see that the certificate is issued by your security software (Firewall): ESET SSL Filter CA<br />
So you will have to disable that filter or install the ESET root certificate that chains to that certificate. -
I've just installed the latest version of KIS and now I"ve noticed that I get a "This Connection is Untrusted" error in Firefox whenever I try to go to either of those websites. I reseted Firefox.

'''This Connection is Untrusted''' is sometimes caused because the
computer system clock is wrong. Check the time / date / time zone settings. -
I keep getting "This connection is untrusted" in all sites when i use Firefox 36.0.1 on windows 8 laptop. How can i overcome this.
hi vijaysampath, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page in order to inspect the certificate like it is shown on the screenshot attached:
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you! -
Firefox Nightly keeps bugging me with "This Connection is Untrusted" on every single site I visit
So I am trying out the new FireFox Nightly, as it was suggested by a friend to me. Now I am liking it at first, but when I remove all my old FireFox stuff (completely uninstalled as there was alot of useless junk/plugins/data that I wanted gone) I am now getting this "This Connection is Untrusted" message on every single site I visit! It even says that the mozilla site is dangerous. So is there any way to disable these warnings?
Hello Rykuu, also, check the time and date of your system, if the date and time on the computer are wrong then security certificates may not be valid.
which security software do you have (firewall or/and anti-virus)?
thank you -
FireFox is blocking many sites and says This Connection is Untrusted
many sites is blocked by firefox like facebook , yahoo mail and even this site.
its saying This Connection is Untrusted
and this sites working on other browsers
and i'm sure that the pc date is right and up to date
so what???I have been having the same problem, chased my tail around for ages and then realised that my system clock was out of date because my laptop battery is toast.
I reset my clock to today's date and the certificate errors disappeared.
Check your clock? -
Firefox throws "This Connection is Untrusted" when using hostname, but not when using IP address
I am remotely accessing a website which has iFrame in it. The website uses https, but iFrame tag has "src" pointing to a site using http only. However, when I remotely go to the site, iFrame shows the message below although the ''src" url is http only (there is no SSL certificate) when I use IP address (https://10.10.101.156:8006/apprecovery/admin/Core/Storage) in address bar instead of hostname (https://hostname:8006/apprecovery/admin):

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to d37t50w1, 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.
d37t50w1 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
(Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

Why is it giving this when using hostname but not when IP address is using?Corrected first para above:
I am remotely accessing a website which has iFrame in it. The website uses https, but iFrame tag has "src" pointing to a site using http only. However, when I remotely go to the site, iFrame shows the message below although the "src" url is http only (there is no SSL certificate) when I use hostname address (https://<hostname>:8006/apprecovery/admin) in address bar. But I dont see the message in iFrame when I instead use IP Address (https://<IP Address>:8006/apprecovery/admin) to go to main website. -
Why am I getting the error "This connection is untrusted" in Firefox on my new computer?
Many familiar sites are giving me an error relating to certificates. See message below:
"This Connection is Untrusted

securely to www.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com, 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

The same sites are still working perfectly on an older computer without these issues. They also work in other browsers, but Firefox is my default.As there have been no further responses to this thread, I've finally marked Google Chrome as my default browser on both computers.

I used certain secured websites every day. And every day, I get the same old "connection is untrusted" messages, on every one of those websites. I do know the "add exception" thing, and I do add the exception for said websites... yet every time I start a new sessions, the exception hasn't been stored, and I have to do it all over again. It's getting really frustrating to use Firefox, since I am sick and tired of adding exceptions that aren't getting stored. I haven't added any new add-ons, only thing I have is Mc-Afee Site Advisor , and I had the same problem before I had to upgrade my Windows XP to Windows 7. One day it was working fine, then it started giving me trouble out of nowhere without new software or extension or anything being added. Nothing I've found online works, and I'm desperate for an answer.
You can retrieve the certificate and check who issued the certificate.
* 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 to inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer. -
whenever I go to an https site, I get this error message. My other browsers are not having the same issue. I deleted cert8.db as one site suggested. Stopped using firefox due to this issue. example: www.comcast.net, once I sign into email, I get this error message. Amazon.com - same issue. So, these are very common sites. This only started in past two weeks.
Does updating to Firefox 18 (which comes out today) help? It fixed a few issues with certificates.
