I tried visiting "www.rainmeter.net" a Known reliable site that has been in existence for many years. The latest version of Firefox comes back with " Secure Connection Failed" and allows no further access. No further information given....no override.....no way to access site. Go to another browser and the site works.

Love Firefox but this is just stupid.

I have several versions of Firefox and had no problem.


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