Everytime I try to access google, youtube, yahooanswers, or any gmail affiliated site it tells me under page info "Connection not encrypted." I also am unable to update firefox as it remains on "connecting to server" for many hours.

Did you install an extension with "https:" in the name like "https: - everywhere".

Where would I have the option to do so. Is this when I download firefox or is it in the proxy settings?
