Just to clarify what Firefox means with that message: there was a glitch in the handshake where the browser and the site agree on how to make a secure connection. Sometimes doing a reload bypassing the cache -- Ctrl+Shift+R -- will work around it, but not always.

Although most people are not intentionally using a proxy server, Firefox may discover one set up in your system settings. Sometimes forcing Firefox to ignore those settings helps with weird connection issues. Here's how:

Open the Settings page using either:

• "3-bar" menu button > Settings
• (menu bar) Tools > Settings
• type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the very tiny search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Network Settings" section of the page.

Click the Settings button, change the top setting to "No Proxy" and then click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog to save your change.

Any difference?

I've set the settings to no proxy, but it's still giving me the secure connection failed page :(

hii peterturbo_apologist,

Firstly make sure your connection is stable and one more thing please check your laptop or desktop time is correct. if both are correct otherwise please correct them.

Now moves on and change some setting in your browser.

• Disable the VPN client or proxy service
• Disable security software (after fixed your issue again enable it)

1. Adjust SSL setting on Firefox

1) Open Firefox. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter key on your keyboard. 2) The warning page would shows up. Click I accept the risk to go on. Copy security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling from here to paste on the search bar of the open page. Then double-click on it from the result to set its Value to be false. Now try to connect the website again to see if the error has gone.

Thank Regards -Arman

No VPN, set it to off. Doesn't work! :(
