I am running Firefox v 53.0.3 64 bit, Bitdefender Internet Security 2017 and IPVanish. When I connect to some web sites I will get the following message: 

   "Your Connection Is Not Secure".
  If I open Chrome I can open the sites without any issues.
   If I disconnect from IPVanish I can connect to that site without getting the message in Firefox.
 
  Is there a setting in Firefox to eliminate the issue?
  Thanks

There is security software like Avast and Kaspersky and BitDefender and ESET that intercepts secure connections and sends their own certificate or that incorporates special web shielding features that can block content.

The issue is not solved on my end due to the fact that I am not only using BitDefender but also IPVanish. I believe in the last version of Firefox something was changed that affected my using IPVanish. Prior to that I don't recall ever seeing the issue.
