Windows 7 download - Invalid Security Certificate
Why am I getting an Invalid Security Cert warning at the Windows 7 download page?
Glad you got the download to work. Actually, though, you CAN download it on OS X. I'm doing it right now. You have to use some weird browser based java applet downloader thingy, but it does work . Oh, and you have to throw caution to the wind and accept the invalid certificate...

Window 8.1 update & invalid security certificate errors
I set up my new PC 2 days ago running Windows 8.1. I was able to visit all websites, including secure ones, w/no issues via Firefox. Last night, suddenly I was unable to access many secure websites. These include Google (Gmail) & Ilines (email). Here is a copy of the Google error:
"mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"
There is no button to bypass, as I have seen in the past. I tried deleting cert8.db which didn't resolve anything. I have also tried adding exceptions which also don't resolve the issue.
I searched support & found the link for the MS document (link below) indicating that FF & Windows Family Safety certificates are not playing nice.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2965142/en-us#appliesto
I tried to follow the guide, but when I get to step 6, there is no Microsoft Family Safety Certificate in the Trusted Root Certificates Authorities to export. For reference, I do not specifically have Family Safety enabled & am running my PC as admin, no other users. I personally have no use for this but it is my understanding that it cannot be uninstalled, either.
I have spent hours researching & making adjustments to different settings to no avail. It is frustrating enough setting up a new PC & transferring info w/out this extra hassle. Does anyone have any other suggestions? FF is my preferred browser, but if this can't be resolved I will need to use something else so that I can access these important websites.Thanks for the feedback cor-el. Here are the results:
1. Installed Kaspersky certificate per link= no change
2. Turned off Kaspersky= able to log in to Gmail but not the other secure sites I am having probs with
3. Booted in Safe Networking mode= able to log in to Gmail but not the other secure sites. Same blocking errors on Gmail, etc when returned to reg mode.
Just FYI, I get 2 different secure connection errors:
Gmail: "mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"
Ilines: "Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to mail.ilines.net. Peer's certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)" -
Message for an invalid security certificate keeps popping up when I open firefox
"fvd.kallout.com: 443 uses an invalid security certificate
the certificate expired on 5/31/11
this could be a problem with the servers configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server
if you have connected to the server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later"
This is what opens on my screen every time I have opened Firefox today. If I hit "cancel" the window closes, but I do not know what it means or how to permanently clear it, or if someone is trying to use my system illegally.
Can you please tell me what my best next course of action is?
Thank you,

Using Firefox 10.0.2 for Mac.
In trying to proceed to various websites (corporate such as dlnet.delta.com (expired certificate), government such as https://www.homeport.navy.mil/links/owa-navy-links/ ) with "invalid" security certificates, Firefox 10.0.2 does not have a button on the error page to continue on to the website. How can you do this using Firefox 10.0.2? I have not found any settings in Firefox preferences to enable this capability either.
Thx.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

For the past few days, I keep getting an invalid security certificate in Safari whenever I select Edit My Site from my website homepage (http://annaporterartist.com), or whenever I select anything requiring a secure log in from my website host main page (FASO.com). I have contacted technical support at my website host (fineartstudioonline.com) and they say that this has been an intermittently recurring problem in Safari for years and they recommend that I use Firefox instead. As proof of this they emailed a link to an Apple Support discussion, but it was for Mac OS X Lion v 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1, even though I told them I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion v 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2. I do not get this error message anywhere else on the web using Safari. I did try Firefox and it seems to work fine, but I prefer Safari and I want to know why Safari is not working as it should be. I am concerned that there is a real security problem with my website host and I need someone to explain why I am getting this error message, what it means, and if it is, in fact, a known problem with Safari or is my website host corrupted? Really tired of technical support playing pass the buck or pretending the problem does not exist.
The specific error message is:
Their response to my inquiry and my reply is shown below:Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
From the menu bar, select

There are three menus in the window. What is selected in each of them? -
Trying to register MS Word 8.5 and Firefox says Invalid security certificate.
I tried to register MS Word 8.5 and got an error message from Firefox saying > Profile. microsoft.com uses an invalid security certificate. Error code:sec_error_unknown_issuer > I downloaded a patch that MS said I needed > kb933828 but it refuses to activate. MS Word 8.5 seems to work o/k but I want to get access to other templates etc, but cannot register. Please, help if you can.
== I downloaded MS Word 8.5 and tried to register with Microsoft.The www<i></i>.photoshopuser<i></i>.com server doesn't send a required intermediate "PositiveSSL CA" certificate issued by Comodo.
You can inspect the certificate chain via a site like this:
*http://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/site+check/
You can Copy and Paste the certificate text of the missing intermediate certificate on the www.networking4all.com site to a .cer text file and import the certificate(s) in the Certificate Manager.<br />
DON'T set any trust bits, those are only required for root certificates and should never be set for intermediate certificates.

I am working with Firefox 35.0 I get the security certificate error message of site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer).
This happens on each page that I go to. I can pull the page up with no problem with Explorer. Please Help. I don't have any security software that would be stopping or scanning SSL.Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) 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 <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate. -

Received an invalid security certificate warning from a new site launched on Business Catalyst
Just launched a new site on Business Catalyst. When checking online for the first time I received the following warning in my browser " uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.worldsecuresystems.com, worldsecuresystems.com. " is this normal?

I am unable to get past the invalid security certificate warning.
I get the message "Invalid security certificate" I click OK., and then the message disappears and I am not given the option to enter an exception and approve the site. It is the e-mail address for my office (state agency) and as a cost saving measure, they are not paying for a continued security certificate. How do I get to the "exception page?" Is there a security section in the FireFox program I need to change? I hate to have to switch to IE every time I want to check my office mail. Thanks for the assist.
Tigerbeetle.If you can't add an exception, but get a pop-up with the error message then you can check the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.xul.error_pages.enabled browser.xul.error_pages.enabled] on the about:config page and make sure that the value is set to the true (default).
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br /> -
Error message on every website says: whateversite 443 uses an invalid security certificate
Every website and page, including Firefox and Mozilla webpage and even within Firefox preferences, I get an error message like this: mozilla.org:443 uses an invalid security certificate. I then must click cancel over and over to get away from the page.
My internet is fine, and I am not having any issues with Chrome or Safari on my OS X 10.6.3. however, I prefer Firefox for many reasons. I have already tried starting in Safe mode and reset everything to default, but made no change. Also reinstalled Firefox. Please advise. Thank you!

Since connecting to my university network, a message in Firefox systematically keeps popping up for every website. I'm now using internet somewhere else - where I've been connected many times before without a problem - and firefox keeps annoyingly giving me this message.
This is the message: cs-700-main(...):443 uses an invalid security certificate. This certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. Sec_error_unknown_issuer.
Apparently the organization issuing the certificate is 'vernier networks, inc.'.
I am using a Macbook bought recently and didn't have any problems until I connected to my university network. I'm not really familiar with Macs, so I don't really know what to do at this point to fix this. Apparently, people have had this problem before but no one has been able to help them. Can anyone help? This is really frustrating and it means I have to turn to Safari or Google Chrome!!
ThanksIt is related to browser settings do,
Firefox -> Tools -> Advanced -> view certificates -> servers -> Add exceptions
and add the your url in that dialogue box. -

FF says my energy account uses an invalid security certificate.
I cannot access my Scottish Power energy account. When I try to log in a message appears saying: "spenergy.co.uk uses an invalid security certificate." The certificate isn't trusted because no issuer chain was provided. This is the first time I have had ANY sort of difficulty since changing to Mozilla. Any solutions, please?
This is weird! I've fixed my problem by entering an incorrect date on my computer, then returned it to the proper date, all is good now! Noticed in the message that the date was incorrect, so I checked my computer, it was o.k. It worked though!

I get this error on both a wired and wireless connection. I changed the router DHCP DNS to OpenDNS in an attempt to fix the problem, but no luck.
I have also rebuilt ca-certificates

I am thankful for any reply, I would love to check my email.
