Encryption Problem

I have Updated Firefox, now i have to manually type in the address to each individual site as Firefox is not encrypting site connection automatically, i have checked the encryption tab and the boxes are checked to use SSL etc. But this still does not solve the problem, any suggestions ?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
