Asked By Wesley J Douglas 10 points N/A Posted on - 11/14/2013

I just started Firefox and tried to update it as recommended but this weird error message appeared on the screen. I just uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall it properly but the same error displayed. What could be the cause of this error? I need a proper suggestion from you. Thanks in advance.

Hi Wesley,

The error is because Firefox prevents users from installing extensions that do not offer secure connection.
To resolve this error follow the steps as mentioned below:
1) Enter 'about:config' into the address bar, press Enter
2) Right Click in the list of keys, Select 'New' > 'Boolean'
3) Enter 'extensions.checkUpdateSecurity' as name
4) Select false value
5) Reinstall the updates in Firefox
