I use a VPN (for your information) I reach the Home page of NatWest banking site but following selection of LOGON I receive error 'secure connection failed' This does not happen when I use Edge. Have I a setting in Firefox to overcome?

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

Often, "Secure Connection Failed" means "Connection Failed (trying to load a secure page)". In other words, not a security problem, just a connection problem.
