Hello, I have searched the internet for a solution to this, basically what is happening is I'll go about browsing, as you would. then I click on a link, maybe type in the website and it says "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at (website) If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try: Try again later. Check your network connection. If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web." I did notice it's quite random, most websites work but every 1 in 10 I'd say I get this error, then I refresh the page and it loads.

I've changed my DNS, Removed my firewall, and reset my firefox and none of that worked, please help.

basically it just doesn't load then loads when I refresh it.

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

I'm using kaspersky and from what I see, I don't have anything on except NAB (Network attack blocker) and the firewall, which the firewall wasn't the issue, as I disabled it completely and it still happened.

To be clear:

Injecting scripts into web traffic to incercept with web pages is off

Supporting DNS over HTTPS is off

It does moniter network ports but thats just for the network attack blocker, and if that was the issue it would block it for 60 minutes at a time like I set it to.

Firewall is on currently but it still happens when it's disabled

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

If the problem goes away with the computer in Safe Mode, the problem is with one of the other programs on the system.

As a test, disable your protection programs.
