this has only occurred after Firefox updated a few hours ago - so it cannot be out of date. Attempts to load pages such as Youtube and Ebay return the following

can't access ebay either for starters. It would be easier to list the pages I can access - no problems with Chrome or Opera - which I only started to use because Firefox has been so slow, taking literally minutes to respond. Oh, don't blame my PC, well above minimum spec to run Windows 10.

So are Ebay, Yahoo and YouTube malicious sites?
There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.
