Why with Firefox 33.0 do I get "secure connection failed" when I bring up my banking site, but it doesn't happen using Firefox 32.0.3?
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?

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 -
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.

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. -
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. -
Why does the Apple ID sign in window say connection failed when I try to sign in?
I bought a Macbook Pro from a friend but I need to clear it and set up everything. I am trying to download the new OS software. However when I try to sign in to download the new software "Connection failed" pops up in little red letters. Why is this happening? My apple ID is correct and verified. I have no clue what to do. Help!
The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support. -
Every then and now I get this error message while doing a research on google, or switching my search from web to search. Is the problem actually with google or firefox, because when this occurs I simply go to yahoo. It would actually be great if this error message quit showing up, either you guys call google and try to have this fixed or talk to your guys to fix this error. I don't understand why it's showing up when i'm already doing a search and write something else to research.
Thanks for reading this and understanding the frustration

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 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.

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 -
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:

On Yahoo Mail...and ONLY Yahoo Mail..I get a 404 error after entering my user name and password. This doesn't happen with IE, just Firefox, and just Yahoo Mail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF; no change. Yahoo was absolutely no help whatsoever; can you solve the mystery? Thanks
HI Emmet,
thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
i hope that helps anyone out there also!
Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.
Thanks again, much appreciated.

I've just downloaded and istalled Firefox. IT WILL NOT WORK. No matter what site I try open up (included Firefox's OWN support site) I get the following:

The only reason I installed this is because an academic site I need to use requires Firefox ( my IE 10 is not compatible apparently). This is the MOST useless browser I have ever tried! I mean common SERIOUSLY? I haven't even changed settings, installed add ons, or anything! So whats the point of this browser if you need to be a computer WHIZZ in order to fix it before you can use it? OMW!
