Kaspersky cannot function because Firefox is making it impossible. I can't get a "certificate" from Kaspersky to satisfy Firefox. Kaspersky will not accept my appeals because I no longer use the email address I used when I started with Kaspersky 7 years ago. I see MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT YOU DO NOT REVEAL THE SOLUTION. FIX THIS. mY COMPUTER IS IN REPAIR BECAUSE OF THIS CONFUSION.

Do you have a profile with Kaspersky. Edit it.

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

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

Open the "Add Security Exception" window by pasting this chrome URL in the Firefox location/address bar and check the certificate:

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

In the location field of this window type or paste the URL of the website.

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

You can inspect details like the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the Certificate Viewer. Check who is the issuer of the certificate. If necessary then you can attach a screenshot that shows the certificate viewer.

If the certificate is issued by your Kaspersky security software then you have two options:
