every once in a while firefox would just not load youtube and I have to switch to something like chrome to get on that site, and today after firefox updated i now just get the "Secure Connection Failed" error message and get told to contact the website owner like lol. and i understand there's an error and the connection is not secure, but like it's youtube... before it updated i cleared the cache and that fixed the problem of it not loading, but now it just goes straight to an error message. i tried troubleshooting a bit and nothing really changed, anyone have any way I can just bypass this?
