Know How To Resolve "Secure Connection Failed" Or Secure Connection Failed On Mozilla Firefox

If Firefox can't access a secure site (https:) that starts with You will see an error page with connections, Secure Connection Failed, and a message about the error. This article will explain some of the error messages.


1. The SSL Protocol Has Been Disabled

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) lets you securely access your website. Websites that use SSL will have "https (HyperText Transport Protocol Secure)" at the beginning of their address. Social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook, banking and online store uses SSL. So, if there are errors, you will not be able to open those sites.

This article will explain how to enable SSL in Firefox if you get this message:

' An error occurred during a connection to (site name). Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled. (Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled) '.

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Tools button and then click Options.
Select the Advanced panel (continued).
Click the encryption tab.
Mark the check use SSL 3.0 and use TLS 1.0.
Click OK to close the Options window.
Try to access secure sites again. If it still does not work, continue to the next section.



2. the site uses an older version Of the SSL protocol is not secure
Error message when opening a specific site:

' An error occurred during a connection to (site name). Can't connect securely because the site uses an older, insecure version of the SSL protocol. (Error code: ssl_error_ssl2_disabled) '.

3. a Certificate Warning

Firefox uses the certificate on a secure website to ensure that your information is being sent to the intended recipient and cannot be read by a bug.

The Certificate Will Not Be Valid Until (Date)

Error message when opening a specific site:

' (site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired. The certificate will not be valid until (date). (Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate) '.

This error I had ever experienced and need 3 days to handle it (newbe). And it just caused by trivial problems, i.e., the date and time settings on your computer are incorrect, so the dates given in the error message will be in the past. To resolve the problem, set your system clock to today's date and time (double-click the icon on the Windows Taskbar).

The Certificate Expired On (Date)

Error message when opening a specific site:

' (site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate expired on (date). (Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate) '.

This error can also occur if Your computer clock has the wrong date. To resolve the problem, set your system clock to today's date and time (double-click the icon on the Windows Taskbar).

The Certificate Is Only Valid For (Site Name)

Error message when opening a specific site:

' (site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for (site name). (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) '.

This error occurs to you that the certificate sent to you by the site is actually for another site. While anything you send us will be safe from tappers, the recipient may not have you think.

A common situation is when the certificate is actually for a different part of the same site. For example, you might have visited https://example com. But the certificate for www https://. Examples. Com. in this case, if you are accessing www https://. Examples. Com directly, you should not receive that warning.

The Certificate Is Not Trusted Because It Is Self Signed

Error message when opening a specific site:

' (site name) uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed. (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer) '.

Sign the certificate yourself make your data safe from this bug, but doesn't say anything about who the recipient of the data. This is common for intranet sites that are not available to the public.

The Certificate Contains The Same Serial Number As Another Certificate

Error message when opening a specific site:

' (Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number. (Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial) '.

This error alerts you to the fact that the certificate of the pages you visit using has a serial number identical to the one you have received this warning cannot be bypassed by using the methods below. For more information and for instructions about how to work around this message.

OCSP Server Has No Status For The Certificate

Error message when opening a specific site:

' (An error occurred when the connection to (site name). OCSP server has no status for the certificate. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unknown_cert) '.

How To Pass The Warning

You can tell Firefox to bypass these certificate warnings. You only have to pass the warning if you believe that the site is legitimate. Legitimate public sites will not ask you to do this. An invalid certificate can be an indication of a web page that will defraud You or steal your identity.

On the warning page, click ' Or you can add an exception ... it. ' Or ' or you can add an exception ... it. '
Click on ' Add Exception ... the ' or ' Add Exception.... ' Dialog ' Add Security Exception ' or ' Add Security Exception ' will appear.
Click ' Get Certificate ' or ' Download Certificate '.
Read the text describing the problem on this site.
Click ' Confirm Security Exception ' or ' confirm Security Exception ' If you want to trust the site.
