How do I access a certificate on firefox? (FF52.8 on Leap 42.3)
I'm trying to open my electricity supplier's website and FF says
energyco.co.uk uses an invalid security certificate.
which URL? Because <http://energyco.co.uk/> says: The domain name energyco.co.uk is for sale! If I try <https://energyco.co.uk/> then I get: +++---------------- Your connection is not secure The owner of energyco.co.uk has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. Learn more… Report errors like this to help Mozilla identify and block malicious sites ----------------++- Well, as this site is a parked domain, it is not strange that the certificate doesn't match the domain. On the url box there is a an 'i' inside a circle. Clicking expands the security information. Chrome produces the exact same error: +++---------------- Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from energyco.co.uk (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID Automatically send some system information and page content to Google to help detect dangerous apps and sites. Privacy policy ADVANCED Back to safety ----------------++- Click on advanced produces: +++---------------- This server could not prove that it is energyco.co.uk; its security certificate is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Proceed to energyco.co.uk (unsafe) ----------------++- And clicking on proceed produces another error: +++---------------- This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://energyco.co.uk/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR ----------------++- Conclusion: THAT is not your electricity provider. Or no longer is. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
