I am running into un-bypassable SSL errors with youtube.com. There is no "I understand the risks" option. The reason for the errors is lack of a real time clock on my system. I want to troubleshoot the lack of a bypass.

This page claims Youtube uses HSTS, whatever that is, which is not bypassable. That is not true because Qupzilla bypasses all SSL errors fine with a single setting "Ignore all SSL warnings". Chromium has the startup switch --ignore-certificate-errors which does the same thing.

I have already tried the "skip cert errors" plugin with no luck. How may I, the user, direct this open source software to do what I ask of it?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

HSTS is "strict transport security" which Firefox interprets to mean "no exceptions." Other browsers are less "strict."

I'm not clear on what your clock comment means. Are you getting a time-dependent error message? Can't you have the correct time even without a working real-time clock, or is that not how it works??

Thanks for the replies.

Starting in safe mode has no effect. The problem remains.
