Hi, whenever I attempt to access any website, Firefox gives me a message saying that connection is untrusted and will not allow me to access it. These were sites I access on a daily basis and all of a sudden it blocked me out of them. I cant even access google search.

hello b4wlz0ut, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:

  • what is the error code shown under technical details on the error page?
  • in case the error code equals sec_error_unknown_issuer, please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page & inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions) - which issuer information does the certificate contain?

thank you!
