Every time I try to connect to something it tells me that it has been configured incorrectly and it cannot give me a secure connection. It just started.

Every time I try to connect to something it tells me that the owner has configured their site incorrectly and a secure connection cannot be established. It just started doing this about 4 or 5 days ago. I am using the same connection I always have used. I have been using Firefox as long as I can remember. The other browsers connect to everything fine. I have started using Chrome because I can't get Firefox to work. Chrome works slower on my computer and I would like to go back to using Firefox.
