I get this message: An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. Peer's certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

When trying to connect to anything Google from fire fox, Google works fine on other browsers.


Your fixes on the help and support don't work or really address the problem. Worked fine until I installed Windows 10

  3. Switch to Active Protection.
  4. Click on Customize next to Web Shield.
