Untrusted Connection appearing for literally half the sites I visit

I know there's a million of these out there, but every single one I checked says the same things, and those solutions don't work. I'll go to a website, and it'll work fine. But then I'll click 'sign in' and I'll get an untrusted connection. When averaged out literally half of the sites I go to give me this. The solutions presented such as clicking add exception doesn't work because if I click that the website doesn't load properly, it's like half it's HTML is missing or something. Solutions like manually adding exceptions are out of the questions because this isn't isolated to one or two sites, it happens for everything. Even these very support forums give me untrusted connections.

So since none of the solutions provided in other help threads work for me, I am making my own and asking for NEW ones. Because I can't use Firefox if literally half of all websites give me this problem.

hello Colt556, first please make sure that the date & time is set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set porperly), could you tell us which error code is shown under technical details on the error message and when you inspect the certificate which issuer information it does contain (see screenshot)?

thank you

Huh, well this is odd. I rebooted my computer again only this time it said it couldn't start and was repairing stuff. When it was done, and I booted up firefox the problem was gone. Don't know what happened, but it was something new so I can't complain. Feels like a waste of time posting this when Windows fixed the problem itself, though. Thanks for the reply if nothing else lol.
