"This connection is Untrusted" error message. FF guard looking for https rather than http. What is the solution?

Since Monday, the sites I have visited for years are now suddenly giving me this message. I noticed that when this message appears, the address bar is normally the "https" instead of the usual "http" display, I remove the s and sometimes it does not work and returns to "https". It is even affecting my search on google images where no photos appear at all. When I search in the 'Safesearch', the images appear, but not any other time. I don't have this problem in another firefox just browsers, and only on my laptop not my office and both run the same level of ESET security system and firefox versions. I have re-installed firefox but that does not solve the problem.

can try to disable ssl scanning within your eset security program and see if the problem persists?

Edit: if it does not please also try the steps listed in the certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown

  • This connection is untrusted error

    Trouble with my Mac or Mozilla. I get the "this connection is untrusted" on 3/4 of the sites I visit during a session on the internet. I did so that I have to use SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols of use checked.

    I could have removed some security certificates or to add some right modules before, I noticed the error message.

    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Why isn't the exception, I add when I get this connection is untrusted error work?

    I recently started getting "this connection is Untrusted' errors every time I connect to google." Although there is a response describing the problem, I have the solution DOES NOT WORK. Not at all. I added google as an exception, many times, but I still get the same error. Since it doesn't seem to be what I can do in the settings options to confirm that I have indeed added it completely, I want to know why I still keep getting this message despite having already added the site to my exceptions?

    Since you are using Kaspersky, could test you with the disabled HTTPS connection filtering if Kaspersky is the culprit? This should be in the application Kaspersky itself, not in the Firefox Add-ons:

    Settings > others > network

    Uncheck the box for "numerical analysis of connections.

  • This connection is an error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer

    Its the this connection is untrusted error, I have recently installed windows 10 but my account is not connected to others and I can not connect to google.com when the firewall is down and disabled. However, I can connect to google.cm I tried to delete the cert.db so that secmod, didn't work uninstalled several times and already have a discount.

Honestly, I have no idea what is going on and I can access the same places when I access this computer which also uses firefox and win10.

  • All the sites SSL Web I visit displays the message "this connection is untrusted" and shows me a false SSL certificate for a different domain name.

    When I visit a Web site that requires SSL I displays the message "this connection is untrusted". Any Web site that I visit, it's always exactly the same message and the same SSL certificate that she is no longer valid for www.thawte.com

    support.Mozilla.org uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not approved, because no sender string has been provided.
    The certificate is valid for www.thawte.com
    The certificate expired on 11/11/2011 23:59. The time now is 11:46 28/01/2012.

    When I click "Add the Exception" on a Web site and view the certificate, it is exactly the same certificate with the exact same serial number.

    I had a similar problem with Internet Explorer showing a 404 error when I visited SSL protected pages but to do a restore of the system a month ago to correct this. All other bowsers are / were very good.

    I installed Firefox 3.x month last to test something that is when the problem started. I have since uninstalled Firefox 3.x and reinstalled the latest version. I deleted all the preferences/settings, disabled modules and reinstalled many times. I did a Windows system restore to before that the problem started with no luck.

    The time / Date on my computer are correct. I have no firewall other than the windows one. I had no antivirus (netbook) until I installed a (Avast) yesterday to see if a virus was causing issues (found nothing). This problem arises on any internet connection (tested to work and home).

    Try bypassing the caveat

    or try to use the module Skip Cert error (to jump to the SSL/TLS certificate error page)

    Hi OscarTM, what anti-virus software are you using, as some are known to intervene in this way?

    This could happen in the accounts limited by family parental control of microsoft. you could turn it off for your account as described in the: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/turn-off-microsoft-family-settings

    in case you want to have it by intention, you would be required for some configurations in firefox and install the security certificate for the ms family that is getting used to intercept connections secured in the browser trust store.
    Open this link in firefox - and must display a dialog on the addition of a cert. Please check the trust this CA to identify web sites & confirm the change.

    Alternatively, you can also try the manual procedure described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142 in the section about firefox.

  • Firefox won't open Google without a mistake "this connection is untrusted", and no option to obtain a temporary certificate is available.

    This problem arose for the first time a few months ago. but I managed to work around it by clicking on "I understand the risks" on the warning page "this connection is untrusted", then adding a security exception. This fix would work for the lengths of time, sometimes for days, sometimes for minutes. Now, after upgrading to the latest version of Firefox, I get the same caveat of security, but the option to click on "I understand the risks" disappeared.

  • I get "this connection is untrusted" on almost every page

    So I had the breakdown and failure of the internet last night because of a rainstorm last night. When I get up to power everything and control the internet, Firefox has become completely crazy!

    I keep getting "this connection is untrusted" on almost every page of Facebook, YouTube and almost all the other sites I've tried. In addition to this I get an opening pop up asking you what Firefox should do with this file? Finally if I add an exception for this site, the page opens, do not know if it is the right term, not coded? No images, text and links.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that has not worked.
