I generally face this issue during very slow internet speed with SSL sites as https sites needs somewhat more time to load than the normal http sites. So call your ISP to know that whether the issue is from their side or not. If there is no issue from the ISP and you are still facing Secure Connection Failed error then move to the next step mentioned below.

Here click Check for updates and if the update is there then click to update your Firefox browser. Also it is good practice to keep your firefox updated as to remain secure, bugs free and for better performance.

  8. Website Issue Sometimes misconfigured ssl certificates or old and outdated security certificates on the website can throw Secure Connection Failed error in modern day browsers. This security certificate error can only be solved from the website end and you cannot do anything about it. The only thing you can do is to notify the site administrator of these security certificate errors.

Here first restart the Firefox browser in Safe Mode with add-ons disabled by going to Menu->Help- and then click Restart with Add-ons Disabled. After disabling the add-ons if the SSL sites are opening then it means the issue is with one or more installed add-ons.

If you have no proxy set or the Secure Connection Failed error remains then move to the next step mentioned below.

  13. Malware Infection If your firefox is infected with malwares then it can happen that SSL websites will not load and firefox can throw secure connection failed error.
