Need to turn off "This Connection is Untrusted" blocking.

I don't know what happened, but lately, Firefox has become unusable. I can't even get Google maps to work, and it's all because of the following warning:
=======
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to maps.google.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 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.
If you understand what's going on, you can tell Firefox to start trusting this site's identification. Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is tampering with your connection.
Don't add an exception unless you know there's a good reason why this site doesn't use trusted identification.
=====
Untrusted?? REALLY?? maps.google.com is untrusted!?! Oh, and support.mozilla.org is ALSO untrusted? I'm using Chrome to post this because in the case of support.mozilla.org, there IS no option that allows me onto the site.
Pretty much every site I go to has this problem and Firefox is now all but unusable to me. And I'm on a corporate machine, so it's not like I have a lot of options here. And it's not our corporate network, because only a few of us have this problem.
How do I Firefox to work again, and disable this 'feature'?
Thanks

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.
<br><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 connection is untrusted" shows up CONSTNATLY!!! and I cannot move the page down to get to the bottem of I understand the risks to override it. How do I do that or how do I TURN IT OFF!!!

    Even sending this message gets the" This connection is untrusted"!!!!!How is that for stupid!!! How do I turn it off or do I have to use some other site and wipe firefox off my computer.

    Just got this warning for facebook, Amazon, and Google, I have just told my clients to stop using firefox until the problem is fixed, it is a support nightmare because you have inexperienced users calling in convinced that they have a virus on their computer, and that they need to unplug the internet to prevent anything bad from happening.
    I had one customer call in and say, "it says get me out of here, Oh my God what have I done I should never have gone online"
    You know what can we have a better more accurate statement, on that warning, like Hi, thanks for stopping by this website may be sharing a security certificate with a parent organization, it may not really be a bad thing we just wanted you to know about it before you go on your merry way. Oh and by the way were going to make you jump through hoops and clicks check boxes and do this and do that before we let you go on your merry way, wait, " Are you really sure that you want to be doing this?" Do you know what your doing, perhaps you should call your ISP for advice, and get support from someone who has nothing to do with this issue.
    Thanks Guys, appreciate all the calls, perhaps I should give them your email address. $%^$%#$

    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

  • HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5.  The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone.  Can I do this w/o the serial number?

    I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones.  Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective?  Thank you.
    Isotope Joe

    Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
    What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

  • I need to turn off 'find my iPhone' so that I am able to restore my phone but my screen is not working. I logged into my iCloud but was not able to turn it from here. How do I do this?!

    My iPhone 4 screen stopped working. The phone is still on but the screen is not working at all, it is juts black. I was told restoring my phone might solve this problem so i plugged it into iTunes. When I click on the restore iPhone button a message popped up saying I needed to turn off 'find my iPhone' in phone settings for the restore to be go ahead. Problem is I cant access my phone!
    I went onto my cloud account to see if i could do it from here but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

    From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.

  • I cannot use ITV player, it says I need to turn off ad blocking - how do I do this? It only began after latest update of Firefox installed.

    I have tried to watch programmes on ITV player, which I have successfully done in the past, but now it tells me it cannot find the video and that I need to turn off ad blocking on my computer. I went into options, but could not find anything about ad blocking. I added www.itv.com to the exceptions list for pop up windows, but this has not helped. The problem only began after the latest update of Firefox was installed. I have never had any problem before. How can I get ITV player back, please.

  • Can't watch videos it says I need to download Adobe, when I attempt it says I may need to turn off my antivirus.  How can I do this?

    For the last few days I have not been allowed to watch anything that may have a video.  It says I need an update version of Adobe and that I may need to turn off my antivirus.  Not sure how to do this.

    Download the latest adobe flash player plugin only from the adobe download site.  When you install it it installs its plugin and a Flash Player system preference.  That Flash Player system preference has an option (Advanced tab) to auto check for updates.  If enabled it will put up a dialog telling you a new update is available when adobe relaases it.  I never have that enabled so I don't know how the dialog is worded and that it actually says anything about turning off any AV stuff. 
    Do you even have any AV software running?
    You can always just download it again and reinstall to make sure you have the latest version.

  • Trying to completely disable "this connection is untrusted" dialog

    I'm trying to completely disable the "this connection is untrusted" dialog. I've had this issue since 3.5 when the security model was changed. There used to be a plugin that reduced the amount of time it took to get through this dialog, but it stopped working with 4.0.
    Issues:
    I am a systems administrator that managages 1000's of servers & devices. A large number of these have internal websites, and they can be replaced/change frequently (HP ILO's, temporary dev websites, switches, etc.). the frequency of the turnover and the effort to create and assign a certificate to each of these websites would cause a lot more effort then going through the dialog choices. however, the dialog choices frequently slow my work down on a regular basis. Adding an excemption for each website would not work due to the frequently changing nature of my environment.
    So to sum up:
    I want to completely and utterly turn off/remove the "this connection is untrusted" dialogs from my Firefox. It will save me (and others I would imagine) time and effort to simply disable this dialog completely. I don't care how obscure it would be to get to work, as long as it's an option and it only has to be done once.

    '''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 has now started 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.

  • How do I get rid of the "This Connection is Untrusted" message?

    I have used my firefox browser for 1 1/2 without any problems. Now all the sites I go to give me the warning message that "This Connection is Untrusted." I can no longer access email or my university website to see my grades- nothing works. Even when I click that I understand the risks and verify the certificate, I can still only get so far- but it's never all the way to where I need to be.
    How can I get rid of this annoying problem?

    Thanks jscher2000 and cor-el for your help! It turns out it was a date and time issue. I'm glad to say it's all fixed now! Thanks again!

  • To avoid roaming charges when traveling internationally, do i put my iphone on airplane mode only or do i also need to turn off data and voice roaming

    I have an iphone 4 with sprint which can't take a sim card.  To avoid roaming charges while traveling internationally, do i put my phone on airplane mode.
    I read you need to turn off cellular and voice data roaming as well but when I turn on airplane mode, it seems like roaming is automatically turned off.
    Is this true?

    Turning on Airplane Mode will prevent the phone from getting roaming charges as it cant connect to a cell tower.
    P.S you can have WiFi on and still be in Airplan Mode. Just turn Airplane Mode on first, then turn the WiFi on

  • Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

    My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
    This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
    Thank you in advance.

    She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
    Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
    You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

  • This Connection is Untrusted keeps coming up. It won't accept any certificates.

    Whenever I try to go to any page that requires a log in I keep getting this message page "This Connection is Untrusted". On some pages it won't give me the option to accept and go on ( example: when I try to log in to YouTube). It seems that Firefox does this when I unplug my computer for a couple of days. I've tried to go into settings and change the certificates part but I can't get anything to work.

    Check the calendar/clock on your computer, to be sure that the date/time are correct. If your computer will not hold/keep the correct information, you may need to replace the "coin" battery on your motherboard (see your manufacturer or your computer manual for instructions and to determine whether you have a replaceable battery or if it is soldered to the motherboard).
