Firefox Error when connecting to Funcube Warehouse
Anyone else getting this error with Firefox 46.0.1 running on a Windows 7 Premium version computer? Your connection is not secure

I just tried it with that version of FIreFox on a Windows XP computer, and also on a Windows 7 Profession computer with that version of Firefox. Both worked fine. On both, when I click the little i to the left of the url it comes up with a box indication that the connection is not secure (but oh, guess what - it's not a secure website).

The error occurs if you try to access the warehouse using https. i.e. https://warehouse.funcube.org.uk/
The certificate used by the site is valid for *.cjsandassociates.co.uk, so Firefox complains. If you use plain http access, there are no errors.

It is not actually and error but part of Firefox's always on https (secure) connection protocols. You can dis able it via the Firefox menu. However if you are going to do an on-line financial transaction beware that your card info will likely be compromised. European open http sites are notoriously insecure.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I just went out again using the same URL for the warehouse and all is well! Strange things happen even though we are already past Friday the 13th.

Any http site is insecure, no need to insult my region here.
once you have switched to HTTPS with a valid certificate, firefox will remember that and will not use http as long as that site is using https.
so clicking on Daniels link may trigger the problem for others. *don't*
