Default OT Firefox 48.0.2 on Windows 7



Greetings,

I had refreshed FF, and now I have trouble getting to sites. I get "Your
connection is not secure". Even on FF's Health Report. Youtube no longer
will play using FF.

I have ESET as an anti-virus. However, I've kinda ruled the that out as
a problem, since I can still get around using Opera.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what changed since all I did was
a refresh. Looked through numerous support pages, and uninstalled and
reinstalled it with no positive results. I have disabled the add-ons and
tried to no avail.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Larry,

I support Firefox. I have seen this a few times before.
It usually is #1 below.

1) check your date and time. Make sure your time zone
it correct.

To keep the time straight, I adore this little utility
from NIST (Windows 7 does come with one, but ...):

2) clear Firefox's cache (be careful you do not clears
your passwords):

Exit and restart Firefox, try it again. Get back with the
results.

:-)

Resolved. In ESET under SSL protocol filtering, unchecked it and all is
well.

Try a "reset".

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-preferences-fix-problems#

"Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems" Worked
for me one time.

Or boot in safe mode to see if FF works.

I did have a problem with ESET last week. I was developing a web page
and suddenly ESET was flagging the ESRI content portal. I went to
another machine and it still worked so I checked the virus definition
stamp. The first machine was newer and several minutes later when ESET
loaded the new definitions on the working machine I have the same
problem. When I tried to report the problem to our IT people, their site
was blocked too.

All was good the next morning and ESET was reporting definitions with a
number that was three versions greater. Fortunately the bad definitions
were pushed out after the close of business for most people but I think
the ESET phones were ringing all night until they got it fixed.
