for about 2 weeks now I get constant certificate errors. Thunderbird says it can't recognize even gmail as legitimate. Why is this happening?

I also use avast, I tried importing my avast certificate into thunderbird, it is still happening. I tried uninstalling avast, thunderbird, and firefox, then rebooting and installing avast, then firefox, then thunderbird. Opened thunderbird and immediately got the same certificate errors. The only way to download emails is to agree to a security exception which I don't want to do. How do I fix this?

I did this, disabled the item this said to disable for avast, rebooted the pc, same problem. Did the most thorough scans possible with avast, malwarbytes and spybot. Rebooted with avast boottime scan enabled. Still the same issue as soon as I open thunderbird.
