Hello, FireFox keep blocking access to one of my Websites. I am getting this message: Can you please help?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to account.apps.progressive.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

account.apps.progressive.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.

Hi all, trying to configure autoupdate settings for my org, as we're discovering several out of date installations.

One sticking point I'm seeing is that I see conflicting documentation on the required proxy setting for background updates to work.

This page states that the correct proxy setting is to use system settings https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-background-updates-firefox-windows

Meanwhile, this page states that proxy settings must not be configured. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/update/docs/BackgroundUpdates.html

Which one is authoritative?

as an aside, some of the required prefs cited in the second document don't appear in about:config on the current version. I do see app.update.background.allowUpdatesForUnelevatedInstallations and app.update.auto.migrated which I'm assuming for the moment are the correct prefs, but can that be confirmed?
