I've been using Firefox all day then suddenly this afternoon it won't open any web page (not even https://support.mozilla.org). I get the same message each time: "support.mozilla.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER". Using Windows 7, Avast antivirus and AdGuard AdBlocker (standalone).

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.

Thanks for the advice. I've opened it today and it's working fine, so not sure what caused the problem.
