Ever since you went with yahoo there have been problems. Now every tine we try to sign in to our Hotmail accounts we get this....

This Connection is Untrusted You have asked Firefox to connect securely to bay167.mail.live.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure. Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified. What Should I Do? If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue. This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

I have tried going in many different ways. Is Mozilla purposefully blocking Hotmail? An no I do not have Avast loaded on this computer

If you can't inspect the certificate via "I Understand the Risks" then try this:

Open this chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the location/address bar to open the "Add Security Exception" window and check the certificate:

  • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul

In the location field type/paste the URL (bay167.mail.live.com) of the website

  • retrieve the certificate via the "Get certificate" button
  • click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate in the Certificate Viewer

Check who is the issuer of the certificate.

You can inspect details like the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the Certificate Viewer.

The only option I get is 'GET ME OUT OF HERE'

could my computer setting be blocking it? I use Kaspersky anti-virus
