On a great deal of sites I am getting "This connection is untrusted"

This is a relatively new thing, but is happening far too often. I tried creating new profile (after reading the possible causes) no difference. My PC clock is correct.

Checked same sites with IE and Chrome - working fine

For example type in a search in the goggle box ... it returns "connection untrusted" against Google. as per pic ... http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx351/Tafflad/untrusted_zpsa9574cf4.jpg

then you click on 'understand the risks' .. then another window then you have to accept that ... before it will open page.

This is very frustrating. Checked same links on IE does not happen.

Hello,

If you use Kaspersky, please see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026631#answer-650916

It looks like you've already looked through the article "This Connection is Untrusted" error message appears - What to do, but just in case you haven't I'd recommend going through it as it contains the common troubleshooting steps.

I do use Kaspersky .. followed steps ... no certificate showed in list. However browsed and added the fake as suggested.

Seems OK ... will test further and report back

Thanks ... clear instructions
