Hello!

I was clearing firefox from my system to reinstall it from scratch. I went into %appdata% and deleted Mozilla's folder completely. Now when I reinstall firefox, it doesn't even let my sync my account - everything shows up as untrusted SSL with the Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer. Can someone please help me out?

please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page & inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):

  • which issuer information does the certificate contain?

hello, what security program are you using on the affected pc?

I'm running Windows 10 build 9879 (x64) with Qihoo 360 Total Security. I tried disabling it + Windows firewall - didn't help. I had firefox reinstalled a couple of times before on this build with no issues, was running nightly, aurora and beta builds. Now I can't run any of them without being affected by this issue.

Thank you, your picture pointed me to the issue - it was Adguard blocking everything. I disabled it and everything is working just fine! Going to contact them about this issue to see if they can fix their program.
