Your connection is not secure

The owner of www.msn.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Chosen solution

I use ESET and it was THAT it seems - not Mozilla Firefox - that was doing the blocking. However, the message said to contact MOZILLA who, I understood, were to contact MSN.co.nz. This must have happened as all appears to be back to what it was and I can once more use MSN.co.nz as my Homepage

Thanks for your help, FredMcD.
