There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

What do the security warning codes mean

That is weird, because there's no obvious connection between Yahoo Mail and the sporting goods store. Or at least I can't think of one.
Connection Settings
Could you make the following updates to your Firefox connection settings to see whether they make any difference -- on the Settings page (either):
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Settings (previously "Options")
- type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
In the search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Settings" button, which you can click to open the Connection Settings.
(1) Proxy
Select "No proxy"
(2) DNS
At the bottom of the dialog, check whether you have DNS over HTTPS enabled. If not, check the box for DNS over HTTPS.
If it has been changed, set your provider to Cloudflare (default).
Then click OK to save the change(s).
Any difference?
Malware Scans
In case this interception is occurring at a system level, you could run some malware scanning/cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful. Those are listed in the following support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
My bad. I have several sites giving the asme error, one of which is the sportssuper store. The actual error is: Secure Connection Failed

No Proxy was already set, and DNS over HTTPS was checked and Cloudflare selected.
When I clicked on the Malware link above and then selected https://www.malwarebytes.com/products/malwarebytes_free/ to scan for malware, the attached image is my result.
You may need to download the scanners using a different browser for now.
https://appuals.com/pr-connect-reset-error/ The PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR issue is encountered when the user tries to use Mozilla Firefox to connect to a website server with the HTTPS protocol but the request gets denied. This error message essentially means that the peer or some middlebox in between (most likely a firewall) is terminating the connection forcibly.

Thanks FredMcD, this fixed it from the first link you provided:
IPv6
Firefox supports IPv6 by default, which may cause connection problems on certain systems. To disable IPv6 in Firefox:
Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to go to the about:config page. In the Search field, enter network.dns.disableIPv6. In the list of preferences, click the Toggle Fx71aboutconfig-ToggleButton button next to network.dns.disableIPv6 to set its value to true.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
