Insecure website error, pops up sometimes on a single website, can't get rid of it. Help?
I have tried accessing Tumblr, Google, etc., however, I keep getting an Insecure Connection message, and none of the bypassing solutions work. Tumblr will work sometimes, but very rarely. Any solutions?

What exactly do the error messages say?
Hello,
In order to better assist you with your issue please provide us with a screenshot. If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
Thank you!
There is security software like Avast and Kaspersky that intercepts secure connections and sends their own certificate or that incorporates special web shielding features that can block content.

Here is a screenshot!
Can you post a screenshot with the extra information that Firefox shows if you click the Advanced button?
What security software do you have?
I tried the link; tumbir.com
I was redirected to ; btnativedirect.com************** then ; searchnet.com***********************
Then second time, I was redirected to ; btnativedirect.com************** then ; bridge.sfo1.admarketplace.net**************** then ; 10200--284840886.sf.ampxchange.com*************** then ; facebook.com/campaign/landing**************
I did a web search. Try this ; https://www.tumblr.com/
Note that the first post shows Tumblr with a lowercase 'L' and not an 'i' (use copy/paste instead of guessing). In the screenshot you can see the difference between the 'i' and 'l' as well if you look closer.
I have FortiClient (security software) and here is the screenshot:
If you click the blue error code, Firefox should display an encoded version of the certificate(s) that it finds objectionable. If you copy/paste that encoded text into a reply, a volunteer can decode it to see whether it indicates the source of the problem.

Hmm, that doesn't look right. Usually it has "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" at the start and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" at the end. Yours appears to be compressed. No wonder Firefox can't figure out what it is. Not sure to suggest at this point.
it did have those, I simply cut them off, sorry if they were important!
Sorry, that didn't occur to me!
Issuer: Fortinet IPS Test RSA
For some reason Fortinet is inserting itself into this connection. Is that normal for your system?
It is, it blocks certain websites that are blacklisted.
You may need to import the Fortinet signing certificate to Firefox as an authority trusted to issue individual website certificates. Does your IT support Firefox so you can get that taken care of or would you need to do it on your own? (I know the drill for Windows, but haven't seen how to do it on Mac.)
On Mac the certificate might be in the Keychain if it is installed system wide.
