outdated security certificates

I use Bitdefender and continue to get this "Critical Warnings" message. I have brought this up to Bitdefender and obviously their reply is Firefox issue. I have no idea how to get Mozella to fix their "expired" certificates.

firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to ad.afy11.net. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk. Add to exceptions

With this website a possible cause it that it doesn't have a valid certificate installed (certificate mismatch: it.domain.name) and needs to be accessed via http:// and not via secure https://

So if you force HTTPS or if Bitdefender forces this then you need to make an exception.

Your thread is different because it appears to involve a possibly useful request: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1350146 The domain in this thread appears to be associated with a malware or adware infection, and isn't something I would suggest unblocking.
