There is however one drawback with this method: you are now allowing your web browser to use self-signed certificates of your employer, allowing the company to act like a man in the middle. You should not even need to restart your browser and Firefox is now able to access again the websites as before.
Read the warning on the screen and click on “I accept the risk”.However, I seem to have brought back some.
#The connection is not secure firefox windows
So after two days of spending all my time fixing bugs I decided to bin the whole idea and go back to Windows 7.
#The connection is not secure firefox windows 10
I looked into solving this while I decided to trial Windows 10 for two days and couldnt get to the bottom of it. This is done by editing Firefox settings: Firefox: Your Connection Is Not Secure (ESET) A common problem I am learned. Fortunately, Mozilla (the organization between Firefox) is aware of this kind of issue and there is therefore a way to look for certificates in the OS certificate store. However, Firefox had its own certificates store and was not looking for the ones from my employer. Indeed digging a little bit deeper, both Chrome and Edge were looking for certificates information in the same place. Either way, a lot of pages started to display a message “Your connection is not secure” as illustrated by the screenshot below.Ĭonsidering that Edge and Chrome did not have the same problem, it seemed to be related to the way Firefox handles its certificates. I am not sure why the problem occurred all of a sudden but it might be related to a specific version of Firefox that started to enforce something that was not done previously (as suggested by elliotstarks) or maybe it is simply my employer who updated something on their end. Solving the issue proved to be quite simple but comes with a risk. However, at work, I started encountering a rather peculiar issue where Chrome and Edge could access the web without any issue but Firefox would keep on throwing me warning on almost all pages being visited to tell me “ Your connection is not secure”. I therefore use it as the default browser on all computer, and that includes my working computer. Firefox is my browser of choice currently, mostly due to its philosophy centered around a web accessible to all.
