Why do you keep blocking websites that you link me to from the home page? "add exception" does not work.

When I click links that Mozilla actually links me to, I get a lot of the insecure connection messages. A lot of times it is for big websites that are totally secure. What is more frustrating is that even after I go to advanced and click "add exception" it still won't let me visit the page. I love Firefox but you guys are making it harder and harder for me to surf the web :-(

hi, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a solution depends on the individual circumstances:

  • what is the error code shown when you click on advanced on that error page?
  • please also give us more information about the error by clicking on the error code, copying the text to the clipboard and then pasting it here into a reply in the forum like shown in the screenshot.

thank you!
