can't get here

Can't get to the forum site using firefox,I get an error message.

The owner of http://www.helpfulgardener.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

I used opera browser to get here and post this.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've alerted the webmaster.

I keep getting a warning on my cell phone and pc that this is an "untrusted site". Probably because they are both Firefox.

[xtgold]

that's with firefox 50.02 on a pc

[webmaster]

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

It's a firefox bug. I'm investigating to see if there's something I can do on my side.

[applestar]

Well, that makes sense, I don't have the latest Opera right now but I use Safari, Chrome, Puffin, and Photon and they all work....

opera 11.60 which is antique.
Like we all know,newer isn't always better.

www.helpfulgardener.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

[webmaster]

Yes, I saw that.
There's nothing wrong with the certificate. It's a long time bug in Firefox. But I'm trying to find a way around it.

I used firefox to join here,so it must be a problem with the later versions.
I believe I used v 20.0 at the time.

On the error page there is an advanced button,then add exception choice.

[xtgold]

did the bypass and confirmed the exception.
Using firefox 50.02 now

[webmaster]

Yes. It's a Firefox bug. Updating your certificates fixes it.

I'm still working on a fix so that it doesn't happen again though.
