Computer not secure error says it's from Mozilla Firefox
I simply don't know where to ask about this. Mozilla message logins and even their answers don't work well.
Two things.
A message appears that says Computer Not Secure even for google
and asks thent o send a message with a button. It still hangs on the next attempt
I ran Mozbackup to save my settings in preparation to reinstall a newer Firefox.
In do this the process of saving things took longer than usual.
I was able to pick out something called telemetry pings being saved as part of the backup
process. What are telemetry pings and are these some form of malware?
Malwarebyes could not be run either since it goes to look for updates.
I have not tried Hijack this yet, but I think I'll run into the same thing.
The whole text of the error message is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your connection is not secure
The owner of Google has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

It has to be bogus. I am dealing with another problem and using a backup disk
so whatever is going on is going on today Saturday Aug13
I will see if I can get a full string location of 'telemetry pings' that are being saved.
