Firefox updated today 65.0 and is now INTERMITTENTLY blocking all my sites
Message below is a Firefox message and is intermittent. Closing and opening Firefox will cure it for a while and then I am blocked again on next opening. Even your own links are showing with no HTML only text! I am having to close and reopen several times before I can get back to Facebook or Messenger or even MY BANK.

Probably some problems with certificates.

Thanks - I have amended the settings in Avast but I am not marking this as solved until I have opened/closed Firefox (and my laptop) more times as this was intermittent on.
Yes this seems to have done the job. Reinstalling Avast was not an option! Thanks Phillip
Hi, I have Avast installed and I am getting the same issue. What is the correct setting to change in Avast?
Thanks, Felipe
Felipe, this worked for me
Open the dashboard of your Avast or AVG application. Go to Menu and click on Settings > Protection > Core Shields. Scroll down to the Configure shield settings section and click on Web Shield. Uncheck the box next to Enable HTTPS Scanning and confirm this by clicking OK.
In older versions of the product you'll find the corresponding option when you go to Menu > Settings > Components and click Customize next to Web Shield
