More than 3 years I start firefox with a command line, "rm -rf /Users/mr.suradetc./Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox/updates/;/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox". I have been updated mac os x from Sierra , High Sierra,Mojave and now Catalina but every os, I still got the same problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Thank you for your advice. I try to both methods, but the problem still there. My step are, 1.I start Firefox with a command line and force Firefox to get an update, show in the first picture. 2.I restart Firefox in safe mode, show in the second picture. In this step, I found a new error message as shown in the third picture.

Sincerely, Mr.Suradet C.
