Cant open any google site in Firefox
Hi Since yesterday 2-Feb-21, i cant open any Google sites (Search engine, Photos, Drive, mails etc)! I have no idea how this happened. showing below message once i enter Google.com
Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
www.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.
If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.
Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.
Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust www.google.com because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

I don't think you can Accept and Continue on Google sites due to HSTS.
If you click View Certificate, does the Issuer Name section list
- Organization: Google Trust Services
- Common Name: GTS CA 1O1
Or does it list something else?
Several users have reported theirs switching to a fake Digicert-issued certificate, which seems to be associated with a proxy. As a test, you can change your connection setting:
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
- Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Settings" button, which you can click.
The default of "Use system proxy settings" piggybacks on your Windows/IE "LAN" setting. "Auto-detect" can lead to a flaky connection. You may want to try "No proxy".
Any difference?

What virus software are you running and can you turn it off and try again? What version of Firefox? Are you running Windows, Mac, or Linux? Can you post a full browser screenshot showing the error?

Yeah, we are waiting to View Certificate!
You can check the connection settings.
- Options/Preferences -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
Certificate attached...
So are you able to accept and get to the site?
