Once I get the error "your connection is insecure" it continues until I reboot. Other browsers continue to work.
Your connection is not secure The owner of mail.yahoo.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate. Learn more… Report errors like this to help Mozilla identify and block malicious sites mail.yahoo.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER
Once I get the error message I cannot get to other sites like att.com, cnn.com, bing.com, Mozilla.org however att.net works.
Please help. Thanks
