I just started a windows 10 computer. When I try to go to google drive, I get this message:

____________________________ Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue. Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to drive.google.com because this website requires a secure connection. drive.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. If you are on a corporate network or using antivirus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem. ____________________________

I also got this kind of message when logging into outlook, but I was able to click the override button to login.

You should never override such a certificate warning without checking what causes it.

Are you using a proxy or VPN?

You can check the connection settings.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
