I just came back to Firefox today after many years, because it is said to be the best browser for 2019. I do like it, especially for its speed and meager use of system resources. However, I may have to go back to Google Chrome. I can't seem to use the google search engine with Firefox. I keep getting an "insecure connection" message. Is there a way to get around this? I have tried disabling Web Access Protection in Eset NOD32 Antivirus, but with no difference. I am not happy with all the content displayed with other search engine results, such as Bing and Yahoo, and so want to continue using Google.

Thank you!

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