Insecure Update: Error in Mozilla Firefox

Asked By mindy white 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/26/2011

Hello. I am seeking for help regarding the error that I am receiving in Firefox 8.0.

It says, “Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update.

Please contact your network provider and seek help."

The error seems unusual for me. What does this error means?

I have received some common Firefox error but this one doesn’t seem to be very familiar to me.

I need help so please send me some solutions for this.

Thank you in advance.
