When try to bring up NortonSafe Search I get this error:

search.norton.com is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Sample CA 2, which is either software on your computer or your network.

When I try to connect to www.google.com I get this error:

www.google.com is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Sample CA 2, which is either software on your computer or your network.

When I try to connect to support.mozilla.org

support.mozilla.org is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Sample CA 2, which is either software on your computer or your network.

I can connect to all three of these on Chrome and Edge browsers.

I have the latest version (Chrome is up to date Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Why does this error only happen on Firefox?

Also, Google search: From Askto - "the provider or the state has installed a root certificate, ridiculously named Sample 2, which issues fake certificates for all the sites listed. What for? And so he looks at the SSL connection. In a corporate environment, this is standard practice already. That is, all of your data transmitted over this connection is visible to Sample 2 publisher. Why?
