Topic: SSL Showing as Not Secure Only in Firefox

[bzowk]

Hey Guys -

I have been using Apache for Windows for a couple of years now in a fairly simple way. Besides hosting a single, personal webpage; it acts as a reverse proxy for about 5-6 other web services which I host on the same PC.

I've had a 3rd party SSL cert & obviously a domain name configured from within Apache for a while now and it has always worked well when visiting the site in Chrome or other connections.

The issue is, when visiting the site in the latest version of Firefox, I receive a "Connection is not Secure" message and have a yellow icon on top of the lock icon to the left of the address. The only issue I see Firefox provides is that "This website does not supply ownership information"

After reading other articles concerning this, it seems that to get it working 100%, I'd need a cert costing hundreds of dollars.https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967766

Is there anything which I could configure in Firefox which wouldn't exactly circumvent this, but perhaps present the certificate in a way which make the connection 100% secure?

Certificate Details
- Purchased from GoDaddy.com
- Created using CSR generated using OpenSSL
- Encryption: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, 128 bit keys, TLS 1.2
- Expires: 5/30/17

Thanks!

It's not "This website does not supply ownership information," if it was you would not be posting on this board. Click the lock in the address bar and see for yourself. Looking at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967766 they were simply asking how to get that info, there was no problem or at least they did not mention a problem accessing their site.

When you get that "Your connection is not secure" page click the Advanced button. You will notice below the buttons some info shows up.

What's yours say?

Firefox issues some misleading info when a connection fails over https. The message is "Secure Connection Failed". What Firefox should report is "Connection Failed", because it does not matter whether the connection is secure or not. It just fails.
