I reset Windows on my laptop, which meant I had to reinstall several programs, including Firefox. I get "Your connection is not secure
The owner of www.democraticunderground.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website."

I click on the "Advanced" button.

"www.democraticunderground.com 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"

I click on "Add exception", then "Confirm Security Exception."

"Your connection is not secure
The owner of www.democraticunderground.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website."

I googled and found a troubleshooting page
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER#w_bypassing-the-warning

But I tried the applicable things and no luck.

Dammit, I am used to Firefox. I hate having to change browsers when one of them fucks up.
