I want to change my settings so that I can continue to an unsecure site. I used to be able to "I accept the risks... etc". But now I'm just blocked from sites. How do I change that? This is a deal breaker for me on which browser I use. Thank you in advance for the help. I've hit this with several sites but the one now is http://coshoctonlaw.com/PBS/ I tried to upload a screenshot, but Firefox never uploads it, it just spins. "Connection not secure." and "You are not connected securely to this site."

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

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