Ever since I updated a few months ago every single webpage I try to go to days it’s not secure. Invalid security certificates. The absolutely laughable and incredibly ingenious way the last few updates have made this allows Firefox to redirect you to a Mozilla page that even itself has invalid security certificates. So I ask 2 simple questions. How is it that Mozilla has allowed Firefox to turn to a complete steaming pile of $#%*? And how does a company ruin a browser so much that it won’t even load it’s own companies pages due to security issues?

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

hello Tigersw,

  • open Firefox
  • click 3 horizontal lines top right browser screen and select Options.
  • click Privacy & Security
  • press on View certificates
  • go to Authorities - delete any Bitdefender entries in the list
  • press on Import - navigate to( C:\Program Files\Bitdefender Antivirus Free\web\mitm_cache )
  • select fake ca . crt and press on Open
  • check all the boxes you are prompted with press on next until the certificate is installed

Restart Firefox. A restart of the computer may also be required.

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