    Just installed the latest Firefox and uninstalled it. Could not access the Yahoo mail page. Firefox kept telling me the site is unsafe. I access my mail every day using Edge as well as Chrome when I was with Windows 7. Got the same error message with other known good web sites I access. Too bad as I wanted to use Firefox. I've been using Edge which does everything I want except blocking ads.

    I update Firefox as soon as updates come out (no Betas). I have NEVER had that problem and My Yahoo is my home page.

    I did an uninstall of Firefox using Revo Uninstaller. I then reinstalled Firefox and I had the same problem. I can not access Yahoo Mail or the new Hotmail. (whatever MS is calling it now). Other sites that open and work fine in Edge no longer open in Firefox. I'm glad Firefox works for you two guys but I gave up on it. Used it in Win 7 and never had a problem. Even Yahoo Answer pages are blocked.

    One thing I did leave out of my information was that all secure sites starting with https were the sites that Firefox would not load. All http sites would load. I tried the fixes that I found in the Mozilla Firefox support forums but they didn't work. I really wanted Firefox to work since there aren't any free ad blockers available for Edge right now. My trial period for Adguard is about to expire.

    When you removed Firefox did you remove the profiles located at:

    C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\mozilla\xxxx
    C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\mozilla\xxxxxx

    Revo will NOT remove those.
     
  11. ram1220 Win User
    No I didn't. I thought Revo would do it. Let me delete those and reinstall again.

    Deleted those folders and reinstalled latest Firefox. Still no go. All https sites won't load. Firefox says they are unsafe. The sites all load in Chrome (just installed) and Edge. Thanks for the help but I will not be using Firefox. I tried *Smile

    To completely remove all traces of your current Firefox installation from your system, follow these steps:

    1. Backup components of your existing Firefox profile. The Firefox profile contains all of your settings and customizations. Back up and restore only your Bookmarks and Passwords, not your entire profile, as that will defeat the entire purpose of doing a fresh installation of Firefox.

    2. Go to the Windows Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, find the 'Mozilla Firefox' entry, select it and uninstall it. During uninstallation tick the 'Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations' box. Make sure you've performed step 1 first if you want to backup any of your Firefox customizations.

    3. Open Windows Explorer, go to your \Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox directory and delete it and all of its contents if it still exists.

    4. To make sure all existing Firefox profile data is removed, delete the following directories if they still exist:


    \Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Mozilla

    \Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla

    This will ensure that all remaining custom data relating to your profile, any cached files, any files relating to installed add-ons for Firefox, will all be removed from your system.

    5. Find and remove all of the major Firefox/Mozilla-related entries in the Windows Registry. Using the Windows Registry Editor (Start>Run>Regedit), delete any of the following keys if they exist. That is, right click on their name in the left pane of Registry Editor and select Delete:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\]

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla]

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MozillaPlugins]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\mozilla.org]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\FirefoxHTML]

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\FirefoxURL]

    Note: For Steps 4 and 5 above, if you also have any other Mozilla products installed, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, then make sure to only delete entries/folders which specifically relate directly to Firefox by name.

    The steps above will remove all the major Firefox-related settings and traces on your system.

    You might want to try and add the following to About:config

    Guys I figured it out. The problem was with Adguard. Once I uninstalled Adguard and reinstalled Firefox all is well. I have no idea why only Firefox wouldn't load those https pages. But all is well now. Thanks to everyone that replied.
