secure connections to yahoo/google fail - unknown critical extension

Find worked before today, updated to 30.0 recently (yesterday, 12/06/14?). Now, all the URL google.com and yahoo.com fail on firefox (ffx) with the error:

   Secure Connection Failed
   An error occurred during a connection to www.yahoo.com.

or " " www.google.com.
or " " accounts.google.com

   Certificate contains unknown critical extension.
   (Error code: sec_error_unknown_critical_extension)

Problem websites accessible from IE.
I have tried to remove/replace ffx in win7 firewall, no help (NH).
Tried to clear the cache & cookies, NH.
Everything worked fine yesterday - may not have tried after upgrade to 30.0.
A similar environment on win7 home premium x 64 laptop with ffx synchronization settings shared currently works well.

After the reboot, problem is now fixed. Apparently the firewall fix did not until the system is restarted.

    With this many cross-browser issues, can you confirm that your system clock date, time, and time zone are all correct? SSL validity checks are time sensitive.

    If you see a globe, I think that you are unable to use an HTTPS address. Usually Firefox displays a padlock or a "!" icon in the shape of triangle on a HTTPS address depending on whether the certificate withdraws or has a problem.

    Is there a code in parentheses, separated by underscores in the error page? If so, could you copy and paste this code.

  • I get a 'Secure connection' error failed with google stating "certificate contains the same serial number.

    When I click on a link to a google search, I get the "Secure connection" error failed in Firefox. He says, "please contact the administrator of the server or email correspondent and give them the following information: your certificate contains the same serial number for another certificate issued by the certification authority."

    I followed the instructions here:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/certificate%20contains%20The%20Same%20serial%20number%20As%20another%20certificate
    and looked at this article:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1028103?ESAB=a & As = AAQ

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted the entire folder profiles and reset Firefox. I see that the older (orphans) article points to my router. However, I have a new router and have updated their software. There is no button to add an exception (as stated in the article), so I can't just work around it. This problem does not occur with IE, so I have a hard time to believe that it is my router.

    How to solve this problem? I really want to change browser.

    Finally, I tracked the issue. The answer was found here:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1028985

    It turns out that Avast has a web shield that passes through its own verification of certificate https. Of course, this feature is not quite right and loses track of the certificates. Disable "https scanning" in the settings of Avast resolved the problem.

  • "Secure connection failed" that occur on the growth of number of sites, v40.0.2

    I'm on a Mac network and many of us become "secure connection failed: the page you are you are trying to view are not visible because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." This number of sites displaying this error increases. It was just Wikipedia.org at the beginning, but now I can't access Mozilla.org! I have tried virtually all solutions that have worked for others, without success, including:

    -Uninstall of Firefox and install the 40.0.2 version

    -setting 'security.tls.version.fallback - limit' 0 or 1

    -setting in "security.tls.version.max" to 0 or 1

    -disable the 'security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha' and 'security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha '.

    -Uninstall and creating a profile

    -Check without plugins or add-ons are causing the problem

    -Refreshing Firefox

    And probably others I don't remember. I wish I could put more details browser, but can't because I can't get on Mozilla with Firefox. Please help and thank you very much!

    Which site gives you inappropriate alert rescue - the main www (https://www.mozilla.org/) or this support site? Or is this only a problem when you use a partial domain that redirects, such as https://mozilla.org/?

    Both this site and the www site use TLS 1.2, so Firefox does not need to return to TLS 1.0 in both cases. In addition, Firefox should have no problems connecting to Wikipedia.

    It seems that you do not have a direct connection, there is a proxy server or something else between you and the site or malware.

    If it's common throughout your network, it might be a common agent or something wrong with the router/firewall.

    That looks like a problem with bad sniffing user agent.

    It works for me if I change date 20100101 in Gecko/20100101 in on user agent (same Gecko/20100102 works, only Gecko/20100101 does not work).

    This indicates that the site is by default an obsolete encryption encryption algorithm that is vulnerable to the attack of 'Blocking' which was in the news earlier this year.

    You can turn off these old present in Firefox to try to force the site to his game. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste dhe and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha to true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    (4) double click on the security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha preference from true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    Then try your payment site. Any improvement?

    The FF for office forum solved a similar problem for me making me enter: config and add the site to security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts as an exception.

    After typing Subject: config you press the Go button on the keyboard (or the symbol to Enter/Return). To display a screen listing preferences from accesssibility.accessfu.activate.

    The only reason I installed it is because a University site, I need to use requires Firefox (my IE 10 is not compatible apparently). This is the MOST useless browser I've ever tried! I mean common SERIOUSLY? I do not have the settings even modified, installed add ons, or anything like that! So what is the point of this browser, if you need to be a computer WHIZZ to make repairs before you can use? OMW!

    I already reinstalled the damn thing but still useless...
