This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

Are you using a bookmark to open this link?

If you do then try to open the https://mail.yahoo.com/ page instead and possibly modify the URL of the bookmark to remove the leading us-mg5

It is usually not a good idea to bookmark such pages directly as such links to specific domains can become invalid.
