I get "secure connection failed" pop-up (dialog) every 3 secs! ugh!
To connect to WiFi at a certain location, the router is setup to first automatically send me to a login page before I am allowed to go anywhere else on the internet.
All fine and dandy, except that I usually leave GMail open in my browser, which is setup to ping it's server evry 3 sec or so! When the GMail ping is redirected to the WiFi login page however, I get a stupid pop-up dialog telling me that the security certificate (of the WiFi provider) is for a different server than GMail. DUH!
This dialog blocks my entire browser functionality in the background, even as I'm in the middle of authenticating myself into the WiFi server.
Bottom-line, Mozilla/Firefox makes me continuously close dialog boxes instead of helping me get faster on the internet. I cannot add an exception for the case where I'm redirected, because ANY webpage would be redirected, so I'd need an exception for everything.
Now, the WiFi provider and GMail could definitely modify some settings to prevent this, but in the end it's not their problem!
My browser should not block me with pop-ups I MUST click on, at the worst it should just take me to an error page until the problem is fixed (i.e. I am logged in to WiFi).
I know this is a Firefox bug (since ~ year 2000 if I'm not mistaken), so PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this pop-up dialog at any security risk for me whatsoever, because I'd rather connect to internet unsafely than not be able to do it at all!
P.S. I already have in about:config
browser.ssl_override_behavior;2
browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert;true
... to no avail!
Long before I had this prob. I corrected my system time that showed 6 years back to 2005 year. The prob was solved. Hope this helps u too.

In FF 37.0 getting secure connection failed connecting to a website. Works fine in previous version. Config parameter version.fallback-limit default setting is 3. In previous version the default setting was 1. Does the setting version.fallback-limit to 3 mean only TLS1.2 is supported. Any help is appreciated.
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to xxxx.xxx.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Thx,The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
*security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain (full domain) to this pref.
If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.unfortunately the fiddler2 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.

What is wrong when I keep getting "Secure Connection Failed" message?
Why am I getting the msg "Secure Connection Failed" on most sites I used to be able to access before power outage?
Rename (or delete) secmod.db (secmod.db.old) and maybe also cert8.db (cert8.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the files.
The file ''cert8.db'' stores your user certificates, so if you have user certificates then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process. -
On attempting to connect to my router's configuration interface, I get Secure Connection Failed
When connecting to my local router's configuraton webpage, I get a "Secure Connection Failed" Error message. "The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." No SSL error is shown, so I am unable to track it further. I just did a full distribution upgrade but it appears that Seamonkey also exhibits this behavior as well. Restarting safe mode did nothing, so I am at a loss.
Sounds that your router doesn't send a full certificate chain that ends with a Firefox built-in root certificate.
Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate 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.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane. -
The website comes up fine but "secure connection failed" shows in the space where I'm supposed to put my account number. (I'm prevented from putting my account number in that field.) This computer is running Win 7 Pro. The older version of Firefox on another computer with Win XP has no such problem with the website, nor does the IE browser on this computer.
One possibility is: Some users had problems with secure sites starting in Firefox 31 related to the new PKIX security component, and worked around it by disabling it. Starting in Firefox 33, it can no longer be disabled, and that setting is ignored.
Are you comfortable posting the address of the login page so others could see whether they have the same experience with the form? -
Secure connection error pops up on every website. How do I disable it?
keep getting certificate warnings on all websites.
Some firewalls monitor secure connections and send their own certificate instead of the certificate from the web server.<br />
You can check that if you click through the steps and get the certificate and look at the issuer.<br />
In such cases you need to install the root certificate of that firewall to make Firefox recognize the issuer of the certificate or disable monitoring secure connections (port 443).<br />

this is a United States government website. (OK you can stop laughing now) Specifically a Veterans Administration website for veterans to monitor and keep up on their health status , keep in touch with their Dr and other related topics. does this mean there is no security document for this site. how can I stop getting this message?
Are you having this problem on your Windows 8.1 system?
There can be many causes of certificate errors. If you expand the Technical Details section of the error page (assuming there is one), what is the explanation there? You could copy/paste that section into a reply.
I don't know my way around the site to investigate further. This page works for me: https://www.myhealth.va.gov/index.html -
Getting "Secured Connection Failed" error message on a website that always worked previously
Displays error: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Site could always be accessed previously and can be accessed using Chrome and IECan you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
It is possible that the website uses a deprecated RC4 cipher suite.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#Security
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36/Site_Compatibility#Security
In Firefox 36 you could bypass this, but this is no longer possible in Firefox 37.
This is now a standard and already implemented in Firefox and other browsers will likely follow.
*RFC 7465 - Prohibiting RC4 Cipher Suites:<br>https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7465 -
Further details on Error message include:
# The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

I can get ebay site up but cannot sign in to my personal account
I cannot even get halifax site up
I have already reported 'broken site'
These sites give no bother when using IE but Firefox is my preferred browser (for now anyway)ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

I need to get on this website, which only allows Firefox and Safari for Mac OSX, but since I upgraded to the latest Firefox update, this is the message I get:

Help!The site doesn't seem to be sending the correct intermediate certificate.

When I click on a link for a google search, I get the "Secure Connection Failed" error in Firefox. It states, "Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information: Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority."
I have followed the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Certificate%20contains%20the%20same%20serial%20number%20as%20another%20certificate
and looked at this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1028103?esab=a&as=aaq
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted the entire profiles folder, and reset Firefox. I see that the older (orphaned) article points to my router. However, I have a new router and have updated its software. There is no button to add an exception (as noted in the article), so I can't just bypass it. This problem does not occur with IE, so I have a hard time believing it is my router.
How do I troubleshoot this issue? I really don't want to change browsers.Here is a screen shot of the error.
