Title: Firefox security upgrade
Post by Sir Grappler Truth Teller OAM on Jun 4^th, 2026 at 3:40pm

Oh, Freediver.... Firefox upgraded its use to try to handle intrusive AI and stuff - and it cut me off communicating here... it's bloody painful, and says your security is not up to scratch.. I got in through Google Chrome....

I can't post on Feedback - persona non cheese grater, you see...

My Firefox is the latest version 151.0.3 and it works fine.
I'm doing a test right now with it on this site for this post.

I normally use the Brave browser for most sites.

Was it an issue with the SSL certificate?

Firefox is fine for me on OzPol.

I'm still using Firefox 151.0.2 atm.

I checked, and will need a restart, to update to 151.0.3

[Firefox is good! no issues.]

Firefox security upgrade issues involve network and antivirus interference.

The SSL certificate issue comes and goes. It's just that the server cannot keep up (I think). We don't actually need it, but most browsers these days flag a site as unsafe if you don't have it. It's not like you are doing your banking on here.

Usually when a browser stops loading because there is no SSL certificate, there is an option in the fine print to proceed anyway ('unsafe').
