Trying to browse to a website that I know is safe, but it's an old site and it looks like the security certificate is expired. I'm getting:

"Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to jeconais.fanficauthors.net. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

jeconais.fanficauthors.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

I cannot find a way to bypass this or turn this off. Why is there no option to do this (when there has been in previous versions)?

The certificate expired about a month ago.

You can click the Advanced button to be able to bypass this.

Search for the site in history (Ctrl+H), right-click > "Forget about this site" then restart the browser. This will clear the HSTS cache and allow you to temporarily bypass the security warnings for the duration of the session.

Advanced was the first place I went, however it only gives me the option to go back, not "Accept Risk and Continue.".

I'll give that a shot.

Even Chrome says this to the link provided:

This server could not prove that it is jeconais.fanficauthors.net; its security certificate expired 36 days ago.

I think you might have to contact the site hosts or webmaster about issue as well.
