Every time Thunderbird is opened this message appears: Secure connection failed

live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER">SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER</a> 

   This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
   If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception…


Also, I have had to temporarily resort to Google Chrome as my Firefox also is coming up with error messages when trying to connect to some sites. ( not all ). The messages read: Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to warranty.ardexnz.com. Peer's certificate has an invalid signature. Error code: SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE 

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

What anti virus are you using? It sounds like it might be one that performs man in the middle hacking "for your security"

Thanks Matt, I'm using Eset, so I've just contacted them asking if there could be issues between that and the F.Fox / T.Bird systems. I'll keep you posted with their reply.
