Nearly all websites identified as "insecure" and cannot be accessed in latest "stable" version e.g. Google: Your connection is not secure

I'll try. I tried to do this when I reported the issue but as it identifies Mozilla as "insecure" I got blocked when I tried to get the additional information when I used the feedback link to report the problem. I had to use another browser to report the fault
