Hello, After upgrade FF ESR 68 -> ESR 78 i lost the possibility to connect to HSTS enabled websites (tested on duckduckgo.com and my nextcloud) on work network.

It looks that you have other software installed on your computer that intercepts the connection and act as a man-in-the-middle. Firefox doesn't trust this certificate and you would have to install its root certificate.

You can try to set security.enterprise_roots.enabled = true on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
