Firefox distrust Gmail and Facebook

Goose · 20 Nov 2011 at 13:14

For some reason Firefox has decided not to let me on to Facebook or gmail saying that they are untrusted. I told it view Facebook anyway but it just loads up all garbled an unviewable.

Is there likely to be a reason for this or is a reinstall necessary?

Could it be to do with the recent spam attacks on Facebook?

Isn't happening to me - are you sure you aren't being redirected to a fake site?

Using the same bookmarks i always have.

[Edit] This is weird, i'm getting the same thing with Chrome as well.

Had my gmail log me in on Firefox but once I clocked on a mail It was just blank, changed to chrome and all OK now.

Never had any probs with facebook and firefox.

Check PC for spyware / hijackers. Check your local HOSTS file on the machine. Make sure you are not being re-directed to a dodgey site or hijacked using proxies or a DNS attack.

As above, if you are using the same bookmarks as before and they are definitely correct then check your hosts file, check your browser proxy settings and check your DNS settings to make sure they are all as you would expect.

You may also want to post what ip-address your system is seeing gmail and facebook on to see if it agrees with others here.

Is your clock telling the correct time/date?

Turns out it was this

For some reason after removing my motherboard to fit a new cooler it decided to reset my bios settings, including time and date.

I had this issue too after the clocks went back
