Firefox is saying this site is untrusted and won't load it. It's the "Final Exams Schedule" on my protected student account for school. The "I understand the risks" option does not show up. How do I continue onto this page anyways?

A lot of the time, this issue is caused by just not having the correct date/time set on your computer or if your computer is set to the wrong timezone. The computer accesses the website and sees that the website time is very different from the computer time.

Ensure your computer is set to the correct time, date and timezone. Does this help?

You can inspect the certificate chain via a site like this:
