My Firefox updated and I can't access Google, Yahoo or Facebook. There is no "exception" option to bypass the security error message.

Firefox updates overnight and I can't access any of the normal websites (Facebook, google, Yahoo, youtube, etc.). I get the "security error" message but don't get the "exception" option to bypass and enable access to the mentioned websites. I am able to access some non usual forums (where I get the exception option). What can I do to solve this?

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
