Firefox (firefox-esr on Debian stable / Bookworm, latest package version) gives me for the first time:
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to paulgraham.com.
Certificate validity dates looks good (so does my computer's date).
Anybody else got some similar error?
- mikhailfranco 3y agoYes, same with HTTPS Everywhere in Chrome.
- d-z-m 3y agoThe fact that this site doesn't serve HTTPS(correctly) remains a head-scratcher for me. The certificate isn't valid for paulgraham.com, hence the error. It is valid for *.store.turbify.com, among other SANs, which seems to indicate that the site is hosted by Yahoo[0] and has HTTPS misconfigured. [0]: https://login.yahoosmallbusiness.com https://login.yahoosmallbusiness.com
- willvarfar 3y agoIn the 90s Paul Graham was one of the creators of Viaweb, which Yahoo brought and became Yahoo Store. Perhaps there's a link?
- bawolff 3y agoThe link is http. I assume there is no hsts, so i think the more interesting question is why firefox would load it over https?
- TacticalCoder 3y agoYeah it's weird: I've got my Firefox configured to never load HTTP sites but I'm too sure why it then tries to load the HTTPS one when a HTTP URL is given.
