How to fix firefox connection untrusted - firefox

Firefox gives me connection untrusted for SSL https, and why is that, Chrome shows https in green so, chrome OK, firefox not, why ?

when i install ff 16.0.2, i seem to have same prob with you(untrusted connection especially firefox addon)..For me, it basically cause by my nod32 antivirus, i try go to setting>protocol filtering>ssl>certificates>untick "add the root certificate to known browser''(make sure ff really close)..then tick it again and click OK..done

Please check this:

I thing you can bypass the warning:
You can tell Firefox to bypass these certificate warnings. You should only bypass the warning if you're sure that the site is legitimate. Legitimate public sites will not ask you to do this. An invalid certificate can be an indication of a web page that will defraud you or steal your identity.
1.On the warning page, click Or you can add an exception....
2.Click Add Exception.... The Add Security Exception dialog will appear.
3.Click Get Certificate.
4.Read the text describing the problems with this site.
5.Click Confirm Security Exception if you want to trust the site.

If any of these TS won't work, then try to update to FF V7. Don't forget to file a bug in bugzilla with all the necessary information.

However if you wish to access sites without accepting the certificate each time, use the add-on skip-cert-error "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/skip-cert-error"

I had this weird issue "Your connection is not secure" whereas Chrome works like a charm.
Actually, it is because i let the corporate pac script to manage the proxy setup ticking the option "use system proxy settings". Actually, Firefox don't like it !
When i switch back to the manual proxy settings, all get back to work.
Of course, you need to known proxy params.
Go & surf ...

Google Chrome not able to open "google.com" page but able to open "google.co.in"

Google chrome is not able to open page "http://www.google.com/" instead able to open "https://www.google.co.in/" page.It returns "This site can’t be reached" page in response.
Every URL that contains "google.com" in it fails to open each time.
Please provide the solution.
you can try:
https://www.google.com/ncr
"ncr" means NoCountryRedirect.
Try to reset your chrome settings, Thanks.
reset settings chrome
I think it is happening due to some DNS server error. I also faced this issue, sometimes just disabling and re-enabling network adapter does the job and sometimes just changing DNS server to static solve the issue.(I entered 8.8.8.8 and 8.4.4.4 as DNS server)Here you can check the DNS server details

set proxy username and password in firefox

I am able to set the proxy host and port using the preferences menu, but I see no option to set the username/password.
When I browse, I get a message, proxy is refusing connections. I am using squid proxy.
How do I do this?
I had the exact same problem as you had.
And finaly there is no way to add user and password to the default firefox proxy settings, so we need an addon to handle this for us.
In the current version FoxyProxy is doing this without any problems:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/
So try out the Add-On and you will solve this.

Open Firefox.
In the address bar, type about:config. A warning appears.
Click I'll be careful. I promise! A variety of configuration options appears.
In the Filter box, type network.negotiate.
Double-click network.negotiate-auth.allow-proxies to toggle between true and false. The option must be set to false. (It seems counterintuitive, but you set it to false to make it work with the ISA proxy.)
Find the link for detailed understanding https://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10522.aspx
Perhaps you must fill the proxy host value with something like the below
username:password#proxy.thing.com

Personal webpage set in https without my interaction. How to undo it?

i've got a little problème im not even abble to clearly formulate.
And this didnt helped me finding an answer on the internet.
So I rely on you people if somehow you have allready encouter this problem or either simply had an idea of where this could came from.
Here is my problem : When I try to connect on my personal website the navigator (Chrome or Firefox, haven't test with others) told me the certificate of security is invalid and is only valid for ssl1.ovh.net (ovh is my web hosting-provider).
The error code is : ssl_error_bad_cert_domain.
Well if any of you has an idea of where this could came from ?
Here is my website if some wants to have a look : maelmayon.fr
Thank you for reading it, I hope someone could help me.
Even though this is not a solution to the underlying problem, this is a nice workaround.
Either add a security exception in your browser, or explicitly link via http://. The security violation report should only show when trying to connect via https://.
I think you'd have to contact your provider for a shared SSL certificate to enable connection via https

SSL Error: illegal parameter alert

A customer of us is trying to connect to our helpdesk system using Firefox and SSL. I can not tell if he uses a proxy but it's a probable yes.
When trying to connect to our webplattform using Firefox, he retrieves this error code
ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert
Since he is the only customer, reporting this issue, i need to know, if i can be sure telling him its an error occured by his network/proxy/etc.
I cant find a clear definition about this error. Can you verify, who failes in this case with just that Error response?
Warning! This will disable some Firefox protection features! This might be risky.
In the URL bar, type about:config, accept the warning.
Search for "security.tls.version"
Change "security.tls.version.min" from 1 to 0
Change "security.tls.version.fallback-limit" from 1 to 0
Fixed the issue for me, hope it will help.
Anyways, you might want to consider changing from SSLv3 to TLS certificates I guess. These security features have been introduced after POODLE security flaw.
In my case, I forgot that I had tightened the SSL settings in FireFox: I changed the minimum TLS level acceptable. Resetting to the default, I was able to get to the site I was trying to get to (my older WiFi access point).
In the URL bar, type about:config, accept the warning, search for tls, reset security.tls.version.min to default 0.
In my case, I had that minimum set to 1 (according to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.tls.version.*), TLS 1.0, not allowing SSL3 or older. (No restart required, just try to reload the page.)

Firefox Websocket security issue

We have a websocket server on port 8080 setup on a Linode box. Chrome and Opera work just fine. Firefox however complains that the operation is insecure.
"The operation is insecure: Code 18"
If I try to create a new WebSocket object in the web console before the page is loaded everything is fine. However, after the page loads something is screwy then I cannot create the object anymore. See the attached screenshot.
I have no idea what operation is insecure or even how to go about diagnosing this.
As you point out in another answer, https:// to ws:// is disallowed by default on firefox.
Going to firefox's about:config and toggling network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS will get rid of the SecurityError.
I fixed this. The app itself is under SSL but the websocket being accessed is not. Chrome and Opera don't care but Firefox does. According to:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303952
This is known and is not considered a bug. Mozilla's response: wontfix
Solution, put websocket server under SSL and use wss://
This is a hunch based off limited info, and I probably should put this into a comment, but I don't have enough reputation points to do that yet.
Looking at your log, it seems as if 24 seconds are passing from the receipt of [object Websocket] (time 17:46:36.683) until you get The connection to ws://.....(time 17:47:00:952) error message.The long delay leads me to believe that the server could be timing out and closing the websocket connection. Look at this answer for a potential solution.
Had the same problem and attempted to fix by changing network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS in about:config which did not work.
Ended up finding this post => Unhandled Rejection (SecurityError): The operation is insecure. On a fresh create-react-app project
Changing this in index.js ended up working for me
serviceWorker.register();
//serviceWorker.unregister();
Open "about:config" url in firefox. Search for allowInsecureFromHTTPS and set it to true
Beside secure ssl context and cross-origin policies, assigning some port can trigger the error as well.
What are valid http ports for Firefox? I don't know precisely, but have to be between 1500 and 64000, or the console will display:
SecurityError: The operation is insecure.
And http links will say:
This address is restricted
This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing.
Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.
