I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1 and every time I try to open up any page I get the following pop-up: 

 SECURE CONNECTION FAILED

toolbarqueries.google.com: 443 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for www.google.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

This is an annoying one and had me "foxed" but I think you shall all find the answer was there on Firefox all the time - UPDATE YOUR FIREFOX. As Firefox suggest, go to top left of screen - you may have to click on the Firefox icon first, but the options "File" through to "Help" should be just beneath it anyway. Click on "Tools", then click on "Options", then select "updates available" - there should be one there, click on that one, then try logging in to the problem website again.
