Insecure connection on all SSL protected sites with FF

Post by termaat »

I have installed the latest W10 Pro Eng on a new Intell NUC. Firefox also installed as default browser. FF works normal only I can not access Google sites like google.com google.de google.nl. All these sites give following error report: Your connection is not secure. The owner of http://www.google.nl has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website..
When I run google on Edge or on Chrome it runs okay. No problems with https.

I have read a lot about this issue but can not find a working repare. Also tried to delete cert8.db with no result after this.

Also discover that on other SSL sites I have the same problems too. So nothing todo with google but with ssl settings of FF.

Does someone of you have a solution how to solve this?
Hope I get it.
Thanks anyway.

First thing I'd check would be the date/time setting on the computer. Make sure not just the date and time, but also the time zone are correct.

That was already checked and nothing wrong with it. All set correct.

Just removed Mozilla FF and run a complete new install. Same result on all https pages. No access and same error messages.

The three search sites, if the same as the "www.google.nl" should be preceded by https and not http.
Google has gone over to the secure page.
You may also want to understand older ssl versions are being removed so it may be a particular site issue not having updated their certificates.

As I already wrote before. The SSL / https error appears on ALL https:// sites not only on google.*

Did you remove your profile?
Otherwise your old profile will be reused.

Check your AV settings, FWIW here, disabling NOD32 SSL/TLS filtering stopped that happening.

I have tested it with clean profile after deleting FF and new installation of FF. No results.
Also tested with W10 FW set to disable. Same result.
I am at the end of my ideas.
Think to disable FF and work by default with Chrome or Edge. These browsers have not this problems at all.
It is and it stays a FF issue. Everything else works great.

You could try a Firefox Portable to see if it's not any Firefox related issue for sure.

Tired of constant Firefox UI changes? XUL extensions are not working anymore? Try SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, Pale Moon.

Since no one else is reporting this issue it is something in your setup. I'm on a Mac so can't offer any help.

Mighty requested you check your AV (Anti-virus) what are you using for AV ? Many now try to insert their own security cert in the middle and it ends up blocking connections from Firefox.

Yep, all was well until Fx47b came along (No problem at the same time with Fx 46 and the 'old' AV SSL 'filtering enabled' setting) same behavior as the OP; made Fx unusable.

Since you posted with FF47, what was your solution?
