First... Seriously???!!! There is no way to register from your sign in page???!!!

What a goofy process just to register!!!

My question is: Why can't I get to Google from Firefox???!!!

Seems like Mozilla is pissed at Google and is blocking users from going to Google!!!

Don't you realize this will cause people to stop using Firefox???

There needs to be a very simple work around for users for YOUR certificate problem!!!

There used to be an "I understand the risks" option. Why did you take this away???!!!

I am behind a corporate firewall. Trust me to make my own decisions!!!

Hi

You do not need to register to use Firefox.

What happens when you try to load google.com (or the localised equivalent) in your copy of Firefox? Free free to include a screenshot if that helps.

So that we can help you better, what version of Firefox do you currently have installed and what operating system are you using?

Do you mean you get this full page error with no option to make an exception:

What do the security warning codes mean?

When you click that "Advanced" button, what ERROR_CODE do you see? Is it the one mentioned in the title of this article:

How to troubleshoot security error codes on secure websites

Since you mentioned that

I am behind a corporate firewall.

it's possible Firefox is not set up to work with a proxy used to filter your browsing. Firefox usually CAN be set up to work with proxies, but first I just need you to confirm that your company does not ban use of Firefox so we don't get ourselves in trouble.

Then, see whether you can ascertain the identity of the "man in the middle" by clicking the error code, and copy/pasting the encoded certificate data into a reply. Volunteers can help you decode it, or you can try a site I use: https://certlogik.com/decoder/. Typically the "Issued by" field points to the source of the issue.
