Why is a security warning is appearing in FF for my website ?

A security warning is appearing in FF for my website but the SSL certificate is brand new and has definitley been setup correctly. The certificate is issued by GeoTrust DV SSL CA

You can solve this probleme by downloading the GeoTrust DV SSL CA and add it to the SSLCertificateChainFile in your Webserver. With this config you tell the Webserver to send the GeoTrust DV SSL CA to Firefox. There is no security gab with this config since the GeoTrust DV SSL CA still needs to be validated with GeoTrust Global CA which is included in Firefox.
By the way, I had the same issue with IE8.

Open File - Security Warning box appears for several app on the desktop [solved]

Hello,
After googling around, I found why I get this warning, how it happens, how to manually fix it but I don't know how to prevent it.
I got this warning when desktop integrity level drop to "low".
Desktop integrity drop to "low" when launching IE (V9) with no network connection and the favorites folder has been redirected to a file server. If the favorites folder is not redirected, desktop integrity level remains the same.
To fix it :
icacls %\username%\desktop /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
But how can I prevent Windows (IE ?) from changing desktop integrity level ? I add the unc path of the file server hosting the favorites folders to the intranet zone to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Thanks for your reply.
You never met this message, did you set folder redirection for your users ? Here you can find other people having this message
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=open+file+security+warning+desktop+integrity+level
I don't think process monitor or explorer will help because I already know the culprit : IE. If you read my message again, I need to tell IE : if the favorites folder is not accessible, don't modify my local desktop folder integrity level.

Security warning wants to install certification for a remote computer

Every bootup, before opening anything, i get a Security Warning that a "oracle" certificate wants to install for a remote computer to access my machine. I always click no, having no idea what this is, and I certainly do not want to allow a remote computer to access. I have screen shots of the details but I don't see how to attach a jpg here. I've searched the registry and startup items and nothing resembles my issue. Please note this does not occur when opening IE or FF, but as soon as Windows loads the desktop screen, as if the registry is triggering this cert.

Many thanks. I am somewhat experienced in editing the registry, and know where all the 'run' and 'runonce' strings are located. I have searched them all. I have also searched the reg for terms used in the security warning. I've run CC cleaner, malwarebytes, norton security, and two online security sites, and they call come back normal. No problems.
But I reboot and there is the warning, telling me that an Oracle certificate wants to install to enable a remote computer access. Of course I click NO, but I cannot find how to kill the beast.

Why is the security warning messages menu deleted on firefox 4?

The warning messages option under security menu is missing on ff4. Is there an easier way to get it back instead of using "about:config"?

Not that I have seen.

Why does a black warning triangle appear where my photos should be?

trying to move photos into files to place on a zip drive. All "events" have moved successfully except for 2 events that will not allow me to move them into a file. When I click on the event in iPhoto gallery, the photos appear at the bottom of my screen but a black screen with a triangle and exclaimation point appears where the enlarged photo should appear?

You have corrupted your iPhoto Library. Post in the iPhoto forum for advice on how to repair it.

Why does the screen say, "Adobe Reader is blocked for this website."

When I try to continue on to the site and trust the site, I recieve a different message stating, "Before viewing PDF documents, in this browser, you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."
I have tried redownloading the program and accepting the agreement again, but this does not seem to be working. I am out of ideas......

Did you actually read the message you got? It doesn't say anything about redownloading; it says to launch (open) the Adobe Reader application and accept the EULA.

Security warning in Plugin 1.4.0 during HTTPS applet download

Hi,
I develop a simple applet, which is unsigned beause doens't do critical operation like read or write on client File Systen. But I download it from an HTTPS web server and the certificate installed in the server is created by GlobalSign.
In Plugin 1.3 and previous release, I could download and run my applet from a HTTP or HTTPS site without problem.
In the Plugin 1.4 BEFORE i download my applet, a security warning popup appears, and it inform me that i try to install a "untrusted" cerfificate for HTTPS comunication.
I known that in Java Plugin 1.3 HTTPS connection are managed by Browser and for example in IE the GlobalSign CA certificate is trust, but in Java Plugin 1.4 itself manage the HTTPS connection, and the GlobalSign CA certificate is not present in the default CA trusted certificates.
My costumer is not very "happy" that his costumer see this security warning when download my applet...
So, the question: is it possible to avoid this message in the default plugin 1.4 configuration?
If this is not possible I must use a CA certificate which is trust for Java Plugin, abandoning the GlobalSign certificate.
Best regards
Michele

Here is perhaps a related problem. In IE6 I go to an https mode along with a basic authentication to view a series of private webpages. When I reach the webpage with my applet, I have to autheticate the applet before proceeding. Is the way the Sun Plugin should work? I know the Sun Plugin uses the IE API for server transactions, but in the case of an applet, it must start a new (basic authentication) instance. After the first authentication of the applet, all other applets down the line do not require a username and password.

Desktop and startup shortcuts produce security warning

I have a laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro with all updates installed. It's a domain member and the primary user was using redirected folders which worked well. Due to other reasons, the user's account was removed from the OU linked to with the redirected folders
GPO. open file security warning The GPO was setup for Desktop and My Documents so that when the policy was removed the files would revert to the local PC. For some odd reason the Favorites was not that way but configured to leave them on the server. I discovered
that only after the user's account had been moved out of that OU and the laptop rebooted and the user logged in.
So the user got her desktop and documents folders back just fine. But even though I changed the GPO to revert the Favorites back to the local PC of course it didn't even after I rebooted a few more times. So when the Favorites icon in IE was clicked,
favo0rites were still pointing to the server. I had to go through the registry and change the entries for that user's profile to point to the proper folder on the local PC.
However after I did that then something else showed up. Now when she clicks on the IE shortcut which is pinned to the taskbar or any application shortcut on the desktop or when she logs in and the startup program run, they all produce the Open File - Security
Warning box so she has to click OK for each one. I've tried looking up this problem but none of the fixes work for this case or I'm not going to lower the IE security.
Oddly, the Microsoft Office shortcuts pinned on the taskbar don't produce the security window but open up the program. It only seems to happen with shortcuts to programs that I create. Also I can take those shortcuts, copy them to another folder outside
of the user's profile and there is no security warning. So it's only within the profile that this happens.
Anyone have an idea what is wrong and how to fix it? I don't see how my changing the path to the Favorites folder in a few places in the registry could have done this but I don't see what else since it didn't occur until after I made the registry changes.
Jonathan

Why not use RegShot to capture registry changes after favorites folder was modified.

V4 replaced my v3.6 then would not work on Mac X 10.4.11 why was there no warning, Now I've lost all my bookmarks

I did not get a warning that v4 would not run on Mac X v 10.4.11
As a result when I replaced my v3.6 with v4 it would not boot up and I got an error message that it would not run on my system.
Now I have lost all my book marks and references that were on v3.6
Foxfire should have put a warning that it was not a universal replacement for v4 and would crash most Mac X v10 systems.
Why was there no warning???

Thanks for the help.
I grabbed an older version of Foxfire 3.5.17 off a friends computer and it booted up great. It ever retrieved all my old bookmarks that I thought were lost.
Yes, you are correct. My Motorola Mac X with system 11.4 will not run the new Foxfire 4.0.
I only wish Foxfire would put a warning on the system requirements for 4.0.
They also need to provide a much better library of downloads for older versions of Foxfire, with an easy link on the Foxfire.com opening page.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

An unknown website just appeared in my 'exceptions' list (Tools Options Security "warn me when sites try to install add-ons"-how could this happen?

downloaded Firefox onto friends' laptop last night. Found it necessary to place two websites in the (afore-mentioned) "Exceptions" category. shut down/re-booted three-four times over the next few hours before shutting down the laptop and going to bed. Booted up this am and, WHOA!-suddenly my menu/toolbars have new, undesired toolbars(?) search boxes(?): the search box, if I remember right, was labeled "My Web Search sponsored by iwon!" Whilst eliminating the intruders I became aware that by some unknown means I had fetched up on some webpage I've never heard of and had no reason to go to-( the very top of my display (above the menu and address bar) read: 'reason upgrade Search' (separated by a line symbol I can't reproduce here), then 'Musician's Friend' ....HUH? (feeling like Dorothy w/o a tornado transport). So I finish getting rid of the invaders and check out my History to try to figure out how I wound up at this website. my history indicates the last site I visited before going to bed, then 'aclk' (www.google/aclk? followed by a string of mixed symbols letters etc. Then 'redirect' (www.rkdms.com/redirect?c=....and a string of numbers and letters. Then the website"reason upgrade Search (?) Musician's Friend " then 'redirect.jhtml' (www.search.mywebsearch.com/mywe.........) Them 'Firefox Web Browser& Thunder....' still no clue how or why I wound up at that site..didn't go there, (not of my volition, anyways!!) so im checking my security settings and in Tools>options>Security>advanced> in the "Exceptions" category of "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons" is a website I've never heard of (getpersonas.com) and DID NOT enter!!!!!!!.Need to know how this could happen, how to prevent recurrence and how hard should I hit the panic button because right now I'm totally freaked!
== today

These prefs get set to an empty String once the sites have been added to the whitelist if the pref is not empty if you open the exception window.
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
You can reset these prefs on the about:config page.
xpinstall.whitelist.add - addons.mozilla.org
xpinstall.whitelist.add.36 - getpersonas.com
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Why is my fillable pdf "Email to" action button giving security warning. Can someone help me?

I created a fillable pdf form with an action button that I would like users to use when submitting forms via email. I have double-checked to make sure of the correct email address, but I keep getting a security warning pop up. It states: "This document is trying to connect to: file..." and when I click allow it tells me I need to be running inside a browser to submit the form. All I want to do is allow users to send their form to a specific email address. Please help. I needed this assignment completed yesterday.

No, I am not opening the file in a browser window. I was trying to preview the file to make sure that it would work when it was sent to the individual via email. Will the function only work if the user downloads it from a web page? If so, that might explain a great deal.

Strange bug -- adding one more button OR page causes Form warning to appear

I'm building a simple interactive document in InDesign CS4 on the Mac, to be exported/delivered as a PDF. There are a few text-based buttons on the Master Page that are set to Go To a Text Anchor on Release. There are 4 buttons of these buttons on the page, and each one leads to a different page in the document, and they all work fine. They are all built the same way.
I want to export a PDF that opens cleanly in Reader, meaning no unexpected dialog boxes or warning messages appear. Up until this point, my document opens cleanly in Reader.
However, when I create a FIFTH button (using the exact same method used to create the other buttons), OR I add ANY more pages to my document (which currently stands at 16 pages, but will need to ultimately be upwards of 40), for some reason, opening the PDF in Reader causes Reader to start displaying the large, distracting pink warning message at the top of the page:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
The fifth button I create (from scratch) causes this message to appear.
Or, if I add another page (using my Master Page, where the buttons are used), this message appears. Even if the fifth button is not created, and I add another page from the Master, this message appears.
If I add a blank new page (without using the Master Page), the message does NOT appear.
So, for some reason, adding ONE more button, or referring to the Master Page in the document ONE more time by adding a 17th (or more) pages, seems to kick InDesign/Acrobat Reader into thinking my document is suddenly a form, and causes Reader to display that obnoxious pink message when opening the document.
I've tried several troubleshooting steps.
- I've ensured my buttons have unique names.
- I've tried creating the fifth button from scratch, and also tried creating it from duplicating one of the existing "good" buttons.
- I've made sure the button has a destination page/Text Anchor to go to.
- I've opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9, and gone through all of the page and buttons in the Forms Manager, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in that view.
Why is Reader suddenly thinking my document is a form (that "cannot be edited/saved") when I add one more button, or one more page!? It's bizarre, and quite frustrating.
Thanks for any insights,
Robbie

You can use that same workaround with ID CS4 files. You just have to make the PDF and then go into Acrobat to add the security that doesn't allow editing (Acrobat -> Security -> Encrypt with Password) . That gets rid of the warning about the form. Of course if you actually have a form somewhere in your document, you won't be able to use that......

Internet Explorer Security Warning Message

Hi am using pure html and am sure not using any active
components in my page.
When i preview in Internet Explorer, though it shows the
page, but in the top it gives a security warning:
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has
restricted this file from showing active content that could access
your computer. Click here for options.
Someone said the the java script tag is giving the warning,
but even after removing that tag, am getting that warning message
The same page, doesn't give any error or warning when
previewd in Firefox!
Can someone point me where am going wrong in the html code i
writen?
Thanks in advance.
Hammer.
The Code:
----------------

Hi,
My immediate reaction is don't panic! If you are testing your
own page from your own local server then there is nothing to worry
about. The whole issue of Active X controls is another sore point
when having to deal with Microsoft's handling of interactive
content.
Triggering of the warning can be caused by various things
other than the obvious contact with dynamic content. Here is an old
thread from a discussion on why Active X warning appear on your own
pages.
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic16624.htm
Googling will find more evidence for you to trace. Your code
looks fine to me and is not a threat to your system if it came off
of your own local server.
Active X is a pain in the butt.

Importing fdf with js always get security warning

Hi, I have a form with some options (1 category as text with drop down and 5 radio button). The selection get the name of the fdf file to import. On import I get every time the security warning. I select the "Remember this action..." and I click "Allow". In the Settings/Security (Enhanced) the path and the file doesn't appear, so I set it manually, but I still get the security warning everytime. Files are stored locally in a different partion as the system. This happens on 2 machines (Mac 10.7, Mac10.8, Acrobat X, ACrobat XI, Reader XI).
this is the script
var A = "/Volumes/Data_Sharing/Projects/.../.../.../";
var B = getField("Category").valueAsString;
var C = "-okom-data.fdf";
var D = A + B + C;
var E = this.getField("Text1");
E.value = D;
this.importAnFDF(D);
The field Text1 is only a string visualisation for controlling
If I set an Import Data Event without js I don't have any security warning with fdf (but always with xfdf, xml and text files).
If you know what I miss, thanks for any suggestion
Curzio

Unfortunately i dont think its possible.
You'd think a deployment could restrict warnings for a local intranet, or have an exception list.
There was another answer i did see but i would not recommend this at all. Even the person who put the post up does not recommend it.
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5253971
You have two options, do not have java 1.6 on the desktop as this is the version that brings up the security warning. Or you can try the new
application with java 1.6 (As long as all functionality is tested). This will satisfy your new app, but not the applications that run of the older
java runtime environments. (we are going to test the application under 1.6 even though its not a supported certification by the vendor.)

Why is a security warning is appearing in FF for my website ?
