Firefox Saying Insecure Connection
This is path show in the video: 'C:ProgramDataKaspersky LabAVP16.0.0DataCert'.
Last night my Firefox Browser updated, but it asked me a question about allowing the update before proceeding, which I thought was odd, but continued, as it's Firefox. So now I'm on version 52 and I keep seeing a connection error:
I need to log into my PHPMyAdmin on Localhost but see this message first. How do I fix it?

This is a security feature in new versions of Firefox.
There is actually no error, this just warns you that the login information will be sent over a non-encrypted channel.
How Do I Fix Firefox Connection Is Not Secure?
You can ignore this warning and logon nevertheless. This is okay, when working with logins on your own computer or when working with logins in your own private local network.
When the login form is on a server in the internet or some other public or workplace network, make sure to enable and use https for the site so that login information is not sent without encryption.
You can disable this feature in Firefox the following way (NOT advised!):
- Enter
about:config
into the address field. - Conform the warning that you want to change settings
- Enter
security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
into the Search field - Double click the shown entry
security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
to set it tofalse
.
this is the solution for your connection is not secure or insecure connection
it is very easy to fix this problemIn CONTROL PANEL choose WINDOWS FIREWALL and click on ALLOW AN APP OR FEATURE THROUGH WINDOWS FIREWALL click on CHANGE SETTINGS now find the browser which you used i.e. firefox google chrome and tick both side PUBLIC or PRIVATE then OK
now your problem is gone

Hello there. So.. I guess I should start from the beginning here. One morning around half a year ago or so Firefox decided to randomly Refresh it self on its own. I didn't even know about the refresh option until it happened, simply never needed it. So right after that I start getting 'Your connection is not secure' error on multiple websites - from tiwtter, through youtube, facebook, reddit, twitch, etc etc. So I start googleing and nothing that I found worked. Eventually I noticed there was a 'Old Firefox Data' folder on my desktop so I just pasted everything from it back to the new profile folder. Great, everything was back to normal now.. except one thing.
When I go to 9gag and try to upvote a comment reply on a post or write one my self, the website asks me to log in. I log in through Google, like I've always done. The website shows I'm logged in, I see my avatar and all that. I go to upvote a comment reply or write one and again - it tells me I need to log in even though I already am. I tried loggin in through facebook to no avail. Even made a dedicated account on 9gag, again to no avail.
Google Insecure Connection Firefox
When I visit 9gag through FF on Linux (Mint 18 x64, same machine) this problem isn't there so I assume it's particularly a problem with FF on Windows or at least my FF on my Windows. My Windows being 7, x64 with SP1. I have an AV - Kaspersky IS 15.0.2.361 though turning it off doesn't lead to any change on this.
I tried Refreshing FF again but that just leads me to the 'Your connection is not secure' error again. I guess you could say there are 2 problems here instead of one.
So yea.. I tried everything I could find on google and everything I can think of.. to no avail. So here I am hoping someone might come up with something more. :)
Edit: I forgot to mention, deleting cookies doesn't help. Also my FF is the newest version available.
