1. Why Is Firefox Saying Insecure Connection

I noticed a couple weeks ago that FireFox started showing all my normal web sites as 'insecure connection'. Running on 64-bit Windows 7 with current Kaspersky Total Security software on a Toshiba laptop. Tried the suggestions I found on web with no success. I even uninstalled and reinstalled FireFox. Same problem. Selected the 'refresh FF' option when presented, but no change.My husband's computer is my old Toshiba laptop running 32-bit Windows 7 and Kaspersky Total Security software.

He is NOT experiencing the problem. He is running current version of FF but I cannot give you the exact version # because his computer is downstairs and mine is upstairs.Ideas? Not the popup at login.the tab will say 'insecure connection' and the page itself will show 'Your connection is not secure' (per: »).Had to troubleshoot other issues this morning (ATT working in box near house), and used hubby's computer.I looked at his Kaspersky settings and his shows under advanced/network-it is set to 'Do not scan secure connections'.I don't remember setting his Kaspersky up that way and mine is not setup that way.

Why Is Firefox Saying Insecure Connection

I changed it and now I can get to my web sites.HOWEVER, unless that is a new setting that came with an update in the last month or so, I'm confused. Because until 2018 it was not a problem (sorry, just don't remember when the web site insecure message came up.)Guess I need to contact Kaspersky to see when/if that setting changed with an update. Grrrr.Not sure I want to keep the change to Kaspersky. Said by:Are you just referring to a notice like this with login forms?If so, that appears on logins at http sites, like my blog. I went into about:config and set security.insecurefieldwarning.contextual.enabled to false to stop that from appearing.

Now, if you are seeing some other message like on Twitter or Facebook when using https, then something else is going on. I'm using 58 64bit in Windows 7 Pro.I'm seeing some of the same. I'm using Linux Mint and Pale Moon browser which is still Gecko based. It was a banking site that complained and I don't want the old BS about having to use ANY version of IE just to bank.

Pale Moon did put out an updater for its Linux browser so the browser is current. I was having this issue with many sites including google and others were just rendering incorrectly. I also tried safe mode etc. And it didn't seem to work. In the end I opened with the profilemanager param, created a new profile, resynced everything from my mozilla account and having saved the settings for noclick etc.

Simply reloaded them into the respective plugins via their import facilities.Since the move to Quantum vastly reduced my plugins this wasn't a very arduous task. Since then everything is working.UPDATE:Spoke to soon, re-enabled my masterpassword, restarted FF and same problems with google.

Disabled it and restarted problem gone. So not sure why but the master password setting is causing the problem. Installed Kee (formerly KeeFox as a workaround, FF doesn't feel as safe without the MasterPassword timeout extension anyway)p.s.I am running Win 10 Pro 64 bit with KIS 18 installed and MBAM Pro. Problem seems to have emerged with FF 58.UPDATE 2:Looks like a FF / KIS bug see here for workaround via about:config and details:».
