Firefox Issues

Ok, so i recently downloaded and installed firefox, and when i go to a web page it keeps giving me this "connection untrusted" warning that tells me that i shouldn't go there. And no, its not like im going to bad sites, it does it when i go to yahoo to check mail, to google to search, and just about every where else. EVEN YOUTUBE! I researched it and it said that the error was from having SSL scaning on from Bitprotector or some weird that i don't even have. ANyone got any ideas on how to disable it?

redownload and reinstall firefox, and make sure that you get it directly from mozilla without any preconfigured add-ons.


Sometimes redistributer change the setup to include their own add-ons, and that might be the cause - my firefox doesn't have that behaviour.


Or it might be that a previous use of a system-"optimizer" has left wrong settings (all of them usually do, that's why I put the optimizer in quotes - most of them cause more problems in your computer than they can solve).

ok, well i downloaded it straight from mozilla, like 3 times and it gives the same connection error. and i have no clue how to use the system optimizer. And i have no clue how to download without preconfiged add-ons. I guess i'll try again.

With system optimizer I meant third-party-programs who pretend to help you speed up windows, like tuneup variants or so - if you haven't installed any of those then this problem hasn't happened for you.


One suggestion: try an alternative browser like safari, chrome or opera - if they have the same problem, it might be that some files in windows have been changed and you might have to repair or reinstall it, especially if you got a scareware-trojan (displaying false errors to get you to purchase a useless program)

no, the scareware Trojans haven't been on this computer before. The only time I get this error is when I'm on Firefox. and I don't touch chrome because the track and archive everything I search and then ad adds on my gmail that are relevant to my recent searches. So I have no clue what in the hell is going on with it at all.

That warning is when you are viewing https when the page is not https.

Just click the url, and take the s out of the https and it should open normally.
