Firefox now blocks Wikipedia. Never done in the past. So far no other blocking sites. How to bypass sites it blocks?

Owner of www.wikipedia.org has incorrectly configured their Web site. To protect your data against theft, Firefox has not connected to this Web site. This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox can only connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

I don't understand their reasoning for the week last (I think) I was able to connect properly. I'm not very good with computers to say the least. It took me forever to find 'Options', etc.

Thank you

It was very good work. Play well. Please report your last post as solved while others will know.

There are security software such as Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET which intercepts secure connections and sends its own certificate.

As a result, users get these warnings.

  • 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

    With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

    After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
    DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

    Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

  • I'm using Firefox 3.6 on my PC, and now, when I select file > new tab (Ctrl + T), no new tab appears. Neither it appears when I click on the new symbol of the tab next to my other tabs. How can I get the feature tab to work again?

    In the past 48 hours, all of a sudden, the new tab featured on my PC, using Firefox 3.56, simply stopped working. I do not change the settings, or download a new version of Firefox. It has just stopped working. There are other scenarios where it still works (for example, if I want to open a link in a web page, I can right click and open link in a new tab), but if I want simply to have several websites open at one time on my PC, I have to have multiple versions of Firefox open as my new tab option seems to be disabled or something. Can you help me?

    Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  • Firefox, now sucks but was great before the update.

    Ok...
    I updated Firefox a few days ago and now everything is slow, suspended and notchy & a bit of sucking. There is no problem whatsoever before the update. I want to go back. I don't want to spend 6 hours to try this and and the other thing. Just zap the 'upgrade' and take me back so that I can work on all the other BS "updates" from other sites such as the FU * ING IDIOTS to Yahoo that has made my email life a nightmare.
    I'm sorry. I love Firefox, but this is bad. And I give you a few generous THUMBS UP for having this opportunity to communicate my grievances, unlike much other BS, like Yahoo services. You deserve a reward for service or something. You have email?
    Cheers, etc..

    This occurred ranging from 38.0.5 to 39.0.3, that would be an update of the main version, or 39.0 at 39.0.3, which was a unique security solution?

    If this problem occurred since the security fix, maybe some program files were damaged. To address this problem, the following is pretty fast:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0.3 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the existing Firefox program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    When you start Firefox, is not better performance?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
  • cannot download the current version of firefox because it says I don't have sufficient privileges. What it means and how to fix it.

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • 24 of Firefox with vista to date fails to display icons on the new Yahoo Mail and other web sites — especially icons such as facebook, twitter WHY?

    Web sites like murraystivoli.com that display the facebook and twitter icons and in particular the new Yahoo Mail interface fail to display the icons. I see only a small rectangle. On Yahoo Mail, there are a few inside but instead it should be the display arrows, images of envelopes or as medium icons or 'send '. The new interface is useless without correct icon translation - can not see the arrows for 'reply' 'reply to all '. It works on Internet Explore on Vista; It works on Firefox on Windows XP (it's the way back level) then why do we see this problem with Vista and Firefox update (we 24.0 but saw problems on websites that I don't care that much about other levels of Firefox also.)

    Help, please!

    Same problem here... I have no icons or tick boxes at all in Yahoo mail and it affects a good few other sites too, just small square boxes with numbers inside. It's really annoying!

  • My computer has recently been very slow. I tried to do a system restore, but any date "BOLD", I select, it won't restore. I have done in the past & have this problem.

    I've set up earlier a manual restore date when I did a cleanup, but I don't know how to get back to that either.

    XP system restore should only be used in certain circumstances. Why do you think it's necessary?

    What do you mean by "I did some clean-up?

    There are two main explanations for the failure of the restoration of the system. The first is the presence of malware. The second is a program such as Norton or ZoneAlarm that interferes with the process:

  • Try to access Windows XP desktop via wireless request a password when none has been set, and never asked in the past.

    I have a netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium (the name is Gary-asus-pc), a laptop (my wife) running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell640m), and a desktop running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell8400).  My Canon printer is connected by USB to my desktop.  Until this week, my wireless network in my house has been working well and I could access the desktop files and printer both netbook and laptop.

    No change in hardware or software tried laptop recently with the exception of the automatic updates.

    Today, my wife tried to print a document of IE8 on his cell phone and it did not work.  I tried of the netbook and it worked fine.  When I tried to check the properties of the printer to the laptop, I got access denied message.  Checking the properties of the netbook has worked.

    Thinking that something got screwed up on the laptop, I removed the printer from the laptop and tried to add again.  The wizard has found the printer, but when I click Next a window pops up showing the following:

    Window title: connect to Dell640m

    Message: Connection to Dell8400

    (in gray)  Username Dell640m\Guest

    Password

    There is no password set on any of the machines.  Just by pressing enter or clicking OK just brings back the same window.

    I closed the window and went back to try to add the printer again.  The laptop computer found the office but did not find all the printers on the laptop or the desktop.  This behavior is fairly consistent.  The first attempt after a reboot to find the printer is successful, but then asks a password for access.  Subsequent attempts are no printer.  Attempts to access the office system itself will require a password.

    I ran the XP Wizard to re - establish home and office networking on the laptop and the desktop computer.  Two machines can be, the Office can see the computer laptop and netbook and their files and printers, but the laptop cannot access anything be it on the desktop (password required) Although it can access the netbook.  All the machines were restarted (several times).

    Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this strange behavior between the laptop and the desktop computer.

    Problem solved!

    I don't know why I didn't think this earlier. The problem has been that I have constantly asked me a password for the user Dall640m\Guest. I finally thought, "why not get rid of user Dell640m\Guest?

    So, I run the Configuration Wizard from the network on both systems and passed under the names of DELL8400 and Dell640m of new names computers, changed the comment, has changed the name of the Working Group, then restarted both.  My hope was that starting a new network with a "totally clean slate" might work. I knew that, at all least, Dell640m\Guest username would not access to the network, so it was worth a try. Fortunately, it worked.

    My access to shared files and printers.
