I cannot open any webpage, "Failure: safe connection failed" comes everytime
Hi!
Since a couple of days Firefox won't let me open any webpage. I always get the failure message (Originally in German):
"Fehler: Gesicherte Verbindung fehlgeschlagen
Die Verbindung zum Server wurde zurückgesetzt, während die Seite geladen wurde.
Die Website kann nicht angezeigt werden, da die Authentizität der erhaltenen Daten nicht verifiziert werden konnte. Kontaktieren Sie bitte den Inhaber der Website, um ihn über dieses Problem zu informieren."
This failure comes with every webpage and came right out of the blue because I didn't change anything before this failure came. The version that right now is installed on my computer is Firefox 43.0.2. It's not because the internet connection my other browsers on my computer work perfectly (I write this message from Opera).
Can you help with this problem? I would like to continue using Firefox as standard browser because I like it better than the others. But right now, that's not possible.
Thank you in advance, wharmuth

Thank you very much for your help, guys :) I appreciate that absolutely.

There is security software like Avast and Kaspersky and BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.
If you can't inspect the certificate via "I Understand the Risks" then try this:
Open the "Add Security Exception" window by pasting this chrome URL in the Firefox location/address bar and check the certificate:
- chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul
In the location field of this window type or paste the URL of the website.
- retrieve the certificate via the "Get certificate" button
- click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate in the Certificate Viewer
You can inspect details like the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the Certificate Viewer. Check who is the issuer of the certificate. If necessary then you can attach a screenshot that shows the certificate viewer.
Thank you very much for your answer, cor-el.
No, I haven't got the opportunity of "I understand the risk". And when I tried what you suggested for https://www.google.se for example, I got the window you see on the screenshot.
hi, please go into the programs section of your system control panel and uninstal nvidia forceware network access manager in case you have that present.
Hi philipp,
thank you very much for your answer and for the link. I didn't find it earlier when I looked for solution. Unfortunately, I don't have this programm installed (see screenshot).
ok thanks, that was just a wild guess since you've said it is just happening since a few days.
could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...
Yes, here you go:

can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe one of the proxy related addons is interfering here...

I opened Firefox in safe mode (you meant Firefox's safe mode, right?) and the same happened, i couldn't open any webpage.
