Pretty much what it says in the title. Since I can't access the support, or any search engine, I kinda have to turn to you guys.

The error I get is "The owner of [website] has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website."

You can also reset firefox to its default settings, which should preserve things like bookmarks and logins (it did for me). Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how to do it without some research since I got a prompt to do it after it froze several times.

Huh.

That's strange.

Anywho, you should have more than one browser just in case...

The problem wasn't caused by the browser at all - Chrome gave me the same kind of trouble, but its error message was more helpful.

You didn't mention having any other options, so I wasn't sure.

I've had this same problem. Its due to invalid certificates. Essentially, your computer asks secure websites to verify who they are with a password (the SSL certificate) that changes daily, and flags anyone who gives the wrong password as a fake. If your system clock is wrong, your computer will compare the password given to the incorrect list of correct passwords and incorrectly flag everything that uses SSL certificates as fake and potentially dangerous to display.
