I am in start up mode using Firefox as my default browser. The "connecting" circle is just spinning (for over five minutes now) with no response. I have shut down the server and restarted several times. The same thing is happening each time. At last some action now I am told "problem loading page" and a Secure Connection Failed notice is showing. Learn more won't help as I am not connected to anything until Firefox activates

Could you please provide more information as to is this a server or a desktop or... You may just be experiencing a outage or a internet slow down. You can google this as to your provider ir company/location is there a internet slow down. If there is a slow down security security certificates can be effected also as they need a fast response ie talk to each other.

Could you please check into the above and if need further help please post.
