My website, petsmart, & others says connection is untrusted.
When trying to connect to my website, petsmart, and others I keep getting this message;This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to petperks.petsmart.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified. What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue. My website is my business and I need to be able to use it.

There are 3 common reasons to get SSL certificate errors on numerous sites all of a sudden:
- Error in your computer's system clock, either date, time or time zone
- New or updated security software that filters your web traffic, or Firefox Reset and you have such software
- Malware infection
It's easy enough to check the clock.
To distinguish the other two issues, you need to inspect the certificate that Firefox is rejecting. There is a trick to this, which is to expand the third section of the error page ("I understand the risks") and click the Add Exception button. If Firefox doesn't enable the View button click "Get Certificate". Once you can click the View button, go ahead and click it to launch the certificate viewer. There, check the "Issued by" information. Often this will point to the reason that Firefox objects to the certificate. Please post what you find in a reply. You don't need to finish adding an exception, you can just cancel out.
Or... maybe... have you installed the HTTPS Everywhere extension? Because if you follow the link to
it redirects to
But that redirect does not work if you start off trying to go to
https://petperks.petsmart.com/
And an extension like HTTPS Everywhere which tries to make all connections secure can cause this problem.
To check and disable extensions, and often you can configure exceptions, too, open the Add-ons page. Either:
- Command+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
