Firefox browser intermittently will not allow a web connection. When it prevents a connection the error message is "secure connection failed". Doesn't matter which website. Other times connection successfully made to same sites previously disallowed. I do not have this problem on other browsers. If this problem is not resolved in a few days I will switch over to the Chrome browser. Please advise soonest to [email]@earthlink.net

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