I keep getting an error message of "Your connection is not secure" for sites like facbook and twitter. They work fine in other browsers, but not firefox

On the advanced tab it says "Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER". I've done a refresh to Firefox and deleted the cert8.db file. I'm able to get to these sites just fine in other browsers and in Firefox on other computers. Any thoughts?

no, your work is not blocking it, but they are intercepting/monitoring every secure connection you are opening - your firefox isn't properly configured to work with that apparently and therefore gives you an errors, because it cannot validate the "fake" certificates. again, your it department should be able to help out with that

thank you, so it appears the affected device is in an enterprise environment where the certificates of legitimate websites are replaced with a different one in order to be able to monitor secure network traffic. it's probably best to get in contact with your it department on how to fix this issue and set up firefox to work in this kind of environment.

same issue with twitter - that's no valid certificate from twitter you are seeing there but it's actually issued by:

Common Name (CN) sslrsa Organizational Unit (OU) IS Organization (O) CCHMC Locality (L) Cincinnati State (ST) OH Country (C) US
