Firefox

[Old_Geezer]

Just downloaded and installed the latest Win 10 updates. Now Firefox is saying that Google is an insecure site.

(Yes the PC's time/date is fine, and it doesn't happen in Edge anyway.)

Changing http to http helps bring the page up.

Anyone else getting that ? Any thoughts as to why ?

[Old_Geezer]

Going to try updating from 47.0 to 47.01
It ought to be doing that automatically anyway.

I don't have this problem. How are you trying to get Google (Typing it in, or using a shortcut/favourite/bookmark)?

[Buenchico]

Are you using Avast by any chance?

[Old_Geezer]

Back on your heads. That seems to have fixed it. Pity the automatic update for Firefox didn't occur BEFORE whatever happened in the Win 10 update & restart occurred.

[Old_Geezer]

It mattered not is it was trying to bring up the Google page as home page nor if I typed it in.

No, not using Avast.

Thanks for the responses. I do seem to trigger requests here before fully investigating. Must be getting less confident in my old age. Must try not to call, well not wolf exactly, but you know what I mean.

Thanks again for the responses. I think all is well now.

sigh
Changing https to http helps bring...
Like I actually typed !

OG - have you ever considered turning off your predictive text? That way what you type is what we see.

No. Predictive text is only when I post from the mobile. On the PC it underlines or often fails to underline errors. The opting out out of letters when I've pressed the keys, is one of the many many many things that keeps happening these days. I also regularly get semicolons where I type apostrophes, extra upper case letters after I've removed my finger from the shift key, random transposition of characters, changing one letter for another in order to create a different word, addition of extra characters in a word, and many many more. I sometimes wonder why I even bother trying to interface with the tech. Interfacing with real life is bad enough. What I need is a good speech to text engine running, although then I'd have to control it anyway for the times the air turns blue after the PC has added yet another error.
