Warning about improper connections contains no "I understand the risks" options, I can't proceed

I installing Thunderbird on Windows 8.1. I am trying to add 3 accounts. When adding the second account Thunderbird warned about insecure transmission of password. I clicked the "I understand the risks". No problem. When I tried to add my third account, I received the warning again only this time there was no "I understand the risks" option. I can't click 'Done', If I change the setting TB can't find the servers. I am stuck and unable to add my last account.
I have TB installed on my laptop running Windows 7 and had no problems. I am using the same settings as in my version of TB on my laptop. The version of TB is 24.4 on both machines. Of course, the version of TB was younger when I installed on the laptop.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice.

I'm stuck too, and don't know what to do.
I am running windows 7.
There is excellent documentation of this problem here - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812750
Problematically, the warning directs me t FAQ, but when I do a search what I find is that everyone is having the same problem.
Further, my existing accounts now show Connection security - None and Authentication as Password, transmitted insecurely. I suspect I am lucky that my existing accounts still work.

  • "This Connection is Untrusted" without the "I Understand the Risks" option?

    I am running Firefox 33.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate. In the recent past I get the "This Connection is Untrusted" message every single time I sign into a hotel or airlines club to get access to the internet. The accompanying "I Understand the Risks" option is not present, just the "Get Me Out of Here." If I did not have Opera and Chrome and IE on my computer as a back-up I would not be able to access the internet other than when I am at home. Please do not suggest clearing cache and cookies. In my 30 + years of computing experience the only time that has helped is with a password issue, when a password seems to get locked in.

    does it make a difference when you go into the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'' and set firefox to directly connect to the internet (that's the 'no proxy' option)?

  • On a "This Connection Is Untrusted" webpage, I can see the option "I Understand The Risks", but clicking it doesn't do anything, as if it's not even there.

    This is not the first time I've tried to add exceptions, but it is the first time I've not been able to even click the "I Understand The Risks" option.
    Note: The option is not invisible or missing, it is un-clickable.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • How can you add an exception if the notification "This Connection is Untrusted" is not seen complete and hence you can't click in the button "I Understand the Risks"?

    When I open the window, I can see the place to sign in; but, where the logo and images (at the top and at the left) must be appear, two separated "Untrusted Connection" certificates appear. But, as the bottom of them isn't visible, I can't make click in "I Understand the Risks". Is there a keyboard shortcut or a way to avoid that certificates?

    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 />

  • I get "This Connection is Untrusted" and hit the "I understand the risks..." but get no "add exception" option.

    When trying to move address books to Yahoo from Gmail I get "This Connection is Untrusted." I click on "I understand the risks..." but get no way to add an exception.

    You shouldn't get that error with such common sites.
    You may need to install or update the mozilla-nss packages via the software update of your Linux distribution.

  • A few moments after I open my hotmail, firefox tells me the site isn't safe and it doesn't give me the option to "understand the risks".

    I just got a new harddrive installed in my laptop so I had to reinstall all my programs, including firefox. Everything was good until I tried to check my e-mail. I go to the sign in page for hotmail and log on, everything goes well until that. But after a few moments, directly when I try and send an e-mail or forward something it says "Kan op dit moment geen verbinding maken met outlook.com. Probeer later opnieuw" which translated in English means something like "You can't make a connection to outlook.com at this time. Try again later". When I try and refesh it brings me to the "This connection is not safe" page and I don't get the option to "Understand the risks". I am looking for a job, so at this time not being able to use mail is pretty bad. I can still use internet explorer, but you know... I'd rather not. English is not my native language so excuse potential spelling an grammar mistakes.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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

  • My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?

    My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?
    Can anybody help me on this issue? I have already tried to replace the batteries but since the computer won't get past the spinning wheel of death then the keyboard won't connect.

    Please follow Apple's advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570. If you need to get your hands on a wired USB keyboard, even a PC one will work fine.
    Do not follow the previous poster's advice, that option is a "last chance" option. OS X is stable and in most cases a reinstall is never needed. Follow the directions in Apple's letter.

  • Understanding the Publish options in Frame 12

    My book saves to pdf and displays just fine.
    Publish to ePub produces an epub with several chapters out of order.
    In the Publish pod, select Settings
    If the Output Style is selected, this is what appears
    WHERE do these styles come from?
    Note on the left are the paragraph tags from the current document. Where do I find the style choices from the "Output Style" pick box? How do I modify them?
    P.S. THIS is exactly why I thought I had to use structured Framemaker because I thought that was the only way to tell Frame how to connect.
    P.P.S. If there’s somewhere to go to read details about how to use Framemaker 12’s Publish options, please provide a link.

    What you’re seeing is a version of the RH Conversion Settings screen – this is where you tell the “engine” how to take that FM content & bust it up (Pagination), whether to bring it over to your output or not (Exclude), how lists are to be treated (Autonumber options), what the resulting styles will look like in the output (the Output Style field). You can let it take its best guess at mapping all your FM paragraph and character tags into (internal RH) styles by using the Automap setting (that was new in RH10’s guts), but you probably won’t be happy with how it comes out. The same is true of the Source option – it just takes its best guess at each mapping. What the field doesn’t tell you is that you can type overtop of it and use your “familiar” FM building blocks – I often use “<$paratext>” to map the paragraph tag text across (especially for xrefs that are like “see xx on page yy” which make no sense in WebHelp output). There are also other ways of running your FM content through to achieve what you want – check out Matt Sullivan’s blog for FM to RH integrations.
    I’d recommend Willam van Weelden’s site for help with ePUB outputs (wvanweelden.eu) and Peter Grainge’s super site – grainge.org.

  • Could not understand the Explode option in "Copy/Merge Forecast" program

    Hi All,
    These are the part of period dates of the organization calendar.
    5/26/2011     6/27/2011
    6/27/2011     7/25/2011
    7/25/2011     8/22/2011
    We are trying to copy a forecast from another forecast from the same organization. The forecast consists only end items. We are trying to explode the forecast values from end item forecast to new forecast. I could not understand how the explosion of the forecast happens.
    Scenario 1:
    When the start date of the Copy/Merge forecast was entered as 26th July 2011. I see all the items of exploded forecast starting from 27 June 2011.
    Scenario 2:
    When the start date of the Copy/Merge forecast was entered as 30th June 2011. I see all the items of exploded forecast starting from 26 May 2011.
    I would like to understand on what basis the forecast explosion happens, does it considers any of the lead times such as manufacturing lead time, cumulative manufacturing lead time and offset the forecast backwards ?
    We are expecting the forecast date to appear post start date given during the submission of program, since the explode option is set as Yes, we are seeing past due forecast for exploded items, request your help here in understanding the forecast explosion during copy/merge forecast program.
    Thanks,
    Vignesh

    Hi Sandeep,
    The calendar dates are:
    1/24/2011     2/21/2011
    2/21/2011     3/28/2011
    3/28/2011     4/25/2011
    4/25/2011     5/26/2011
    5/26/2011     6/27/2011
    6/27/2011     7/25/2011
    7/25/2011     8/22/2011
    8/22/2011     9/26/2011
    9/26/2011     10/24/2011
    10/24/2011     11/21/2011
    11/21/2011     12/27/2011
    12/27/2011     1/23/2012
    Issue is when the start date is entered as 30th June 2011. When the forecast explosion happens, the exploded forecast date starts from 26th May 2011. Which becomes a past due forecast. We would like to understand why the exploded items goes to periods in the past. Some forecasts go back two periods. We are not able to find the pattern and it is not following the leadtime defined.
    I am not sure of the business reason for the forecast explosion to be done here instead in ASCP/MRP plan.
    Thanks,
    Vignesh

  • "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. $%^$%#$
