    Running into lots of blocked sites for security issues. Seems to be due to certificate issues. I like to be safe but lately I find too much security problems for my liking and cant do much of anything because of all the blocked sites. Is this really all that dangerous? Sites I used to visit all the time suddenly are blocked due to certificate issues Firefox seems to have. Some you can choose to go to anyway and nothing bad seems to happen. I guess I sound reckless, but I think there is TOO MUCH security and more than I need or want. Am I wrong or unaware? Email has constant blockage due to something not matching something else and says it is a phishing attempt and blocks it.

    Hi BGBG,

    This may have something to do with your problem:

    Firefox Changes Root Certificate Handling Procedures on Windows

    Seems this will change in the next update.
