Yes
......or maybe not ...... it is Facebook ;)

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section :thinking:

I don't use facebook but sometimes follow a link, ect, to look at something. The last couple of times I've got the page below :confused:

I run firefox and its updated to the latest version. I'm not very computer literate but can usually bumble mi way through so any advice needs to be in a 'dummies guide form' please. I've had a Google and found a couple of suggestions but they didn't make sense :confused: thanks in advance :)

Thanks for reply Neil, yes clicking on the link above just gives me the same 'secure connection failed' page. Only firewall I have running is windows.

As an after thought I tried Internet Explorer instead of Firefox and it loaded FB no problem so it must be something that's changed in my Firefox settings :thinking:

what does c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts contain?

That is not a great practice. You are probably OK, if you have new up to date and well configured router, but probably not...

This is mi first stumbling block because I don't understand what you mean...:confused:....how do I check what it contains? Thanks

As mentioned above, FB loads ok on Internet Explorer just not on Firefox.

which would rule out a hosts issue.

id put money on something related to this weeks SSL/TLS changes and your browser.

A bit more digging on Google last night and apparently you are correct Neil (y) ( not like I understand it! :D)

Apparently I have to uninstall FF, reinstall it and all my troubles will be over :confused:.........yeh right

Just a quick update on this..........

I finally got round to sorting the problem, it was quite simple tbh :rolleyes: just had to reset Firefox. It's changed one or two other things I'll just have to get use to :banghead:........

I don't like change! :rolleyes: :D
