On opening any website , even https ones , firefox first displays a "Secure Connection Failed" page , but on clicking the "Try Again" button or refreshing the page successfully opens . How do I solve this as I have to refresh every page 2 times in order to open it ?

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