Bike Website Errors - is it just me?
Just checking if this is only me or more universal: in the following post Big Block posted a number of links: for me the links to velobase, classicrendevous, and classiccycleus all resulted in a series of SSL/security errors on Firefox. The others were fine. Could someone let me know if this is solely a local issue on my machine or is this a wider spread problem?

All of Big Block's links work just fine for me.

I think it's a Canadian Firefox issue. I use Epic browser with proxy to get to these pages, although sometimes I can get through. I haven't been able to fix permissions to allow velobase.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

If you tweak the start of the URL from https to http, it often helps get through to sites with security or certificate issues - your session is no longer encrypted, but this should be tolerable risk when browsing on known/trusted sites

Those links work fine for me, a long-time Firefox user. But I have trusted those sites long ago.
I do like browsers warning me when I try to connect to new sites with less-than-optimal security. I also like to be able to mark sites as "trusted" and not be bothered again without reason. So far, Firefox does a pretty good job, IMO.

Thanks all: to be clear this isn't one of those "the site you are going to is insecure" messages that you can click through. I got three different errors (one on each site) and they had to do with connection resets, certificate too long, and one other error I can't recall.
And yes I am aware of removing the S in httpS to avoid certs; however these sites should work so I was simply trying to do debug step #1 which was to ensure others were or were not having the issue.
nlerner Think I will go back to Mosaic.....

It's the web starting to be self aware. Pretty soon the Di2 components will start to turn on us.
