locking this thread as support is being rendered in the original thread - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1249850


I've already asked the question and gave my email address but now didn't see how to get to the forum. I started out having a problem hearing sound on facebook and youtube videos. Checked sound on pc - fine. Had a pc expert uninstall and reinstall firefox and the sound worked last night. This morning the sound on those videos is gone so I uninstalled and installed firefox again and now it says that facebook and youtube don't have safe connections!!!!! I didn't appreciate being offered the reimage app and then finding out it would cost me something after it went through my pc. I am being as nice as my frustration allows.

  • please also give us more information about the error by clicking on the error code, copying the text to the clipboard and then pasting it here into a reply in the forum like shown in the screenshot.

thanks, it appears that the StopAd program that's installed on your system is tampering with encrypted connections - they have the following support article on the subject: https://stopad.io/help/windows/connection-is-not-secure

The stop ad link given just comes up with the same message that the connection is not safe. For many months we have enjoyed stop ad and successfully used our internet at the same time. Why would that have changed?

I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it with an upgrade. I don't know anything about the mozilla folder. That was not a part of the instructions.
