Secure website certificates (those with addresses starting with https://) have a limited validity duration. If your computer's date doesn't align with a website's certificate validity dates, Firefox will display an error, as it can't confirm the site's security.

To resolve this, ensure your computer's date, time, and time zone are accurate. If the issue persists, it might be due to other factors like a server misconfiguration or an outdated certificate.

List of time-related error codes you may encounter

Note: A Your Computer Clock is Wrong error page almost certainly means that your computer's clock is set to the wrong date. Some time-related errors will show a Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead error page, described in this article. For other time-related errors, you'll get a Secure Connection Failed or Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue error page, described here.

Click Advanced… on the error page to view the error code. One of the following error codes will indicate that the secure connection couldn't be established due to a time-related error:

SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE
SEC_ERROR_OCSP_FUTURE_RESPONSE
SEC_ERROR_OCSP_OLD_RESPONSE
MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_NOT_YET_VALID_CERTIFICATE
MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_NOT_YET_VALID_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE

The text on the error page will warn you when Firefox detects that your system date and time is probably wrong and will also show the date and time currently set in your system. If the clock settings are incorrect you should set it to the right time as explained below. Even if the displayed time settings seem to be correct, you should make sure that the time zone settings of your system match your current location.

Note: If the clock on your device constantly resets after you power it off, this might indicate that the battery cell that runs the real-time clock is getting low or is empty. Please consult your manufacturer's manual on how to replace the CMOS battery.

Contact the website owner

If you get a time-related error on a secure website and you have already checked the correct settings of your system’s clock, please contact the owner of the website which you can’t access and inform them of the problem. The website owner might need to renew the expired certificate, for example.
