Also, make sure your clock is correct. If the clock is not in time, it can cause this error.

You have a question? LOL

AND
the clock can cause a browser to "think" that a security issue is present, even though it is not. If the clock is off, it "sees" the web site as bogus and will give the error.

Interesting! A time difference from 'expected' leads to that conclusion? So for seeing an apple when you expect an orange means anything you want it to?

Programmers are 'supposed' to be cognizant of logic!



Gross extrapolation of questionable assumptions. :o

This is a perfectly cognizant solution for us programmers :). It couldn't be more logical .... :)
There are infinite tests that could be done but you put a constraint on them.

It is more common sense than alternate reality. Security certificates are dated for your protection from security hacks. If your clock is set wrong so the certificate date is expired by your clock, you get that error. So, checking the date on your clock is important.

WHY is the 'user's' clock the 'reference'? (Or even relevant?)

Accurate time/date is defined elsewhere and should have been used when the 'period' started.

Common sense indeed!

In programming, certain assumptions have to be made. It is assumed that the user has the correct date. Normally that is the case. It is part of the metric that, although a variable, is usually pretty accurate. Common sense .... :D

Gotta disagree! Bad assumption!


But then all assumptions are fraught with pitfalls! ;)


I observe far too many 'assumptions' of late that folks do not realize ARE assumptions.

The assumptions are often inaccurate for the issue at hand.

This might be a good time to run "Malwarebytes" Did that.

Or check into FireFo help. Did that too.

Also, make sure your clock is correct. If the clock is not in time, it can cause this error. And that.

Even deleted Firefox 57 and reinstalled it. Nothing works.
