Hi,

When trying to open www.facebook.com got a "SSL_ERROR_DC_EXPIRED", however, facebook's site works just fine in Chromium. Firefox is up to date, version is 89.0.2. This also happens in Firefox Beta as well, which is up to date too. OS: Debian Bullseye/Testing. DE: KDE Plasma 5.21.5

The "DC" in SSL_ERROR_DC_EXPIRED refers to "delegated credentials" -- a new feature enabled in Firefox 89. More info and, if necessary, information on how to disable this feature, in the following post:

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

Do you use a bookmark or are you starting with the main (home) page of this website?

If you use a bookmark to access a specific page then instead navigate to this page starting with the main page or with the sign in page in case there is a problem with this bookmark.

Thanks for your reply. I don't use any of those.

Thanks for your reply. Disabling that fixed it.

Thanks for your reply. I tried that, didn't work, still getting the same error message.
