Artful Insecure Connection problem

[jerrylamos]

On Xenial I have no problem using Firefox to log in to my doctor's office over their portal.

On Artful same exact same attempt to log in there's a message about "Insecure Connection" and refuses to access the site.

Any ideas, or how do I generate an Ubuntu Bug for this?

Thanks.

If the doctor's portal is still using 'http' instead of 'https', then you get the explanation; but the exposed message also propose to bypass that warning if you want to take the risk.

The medical groups site is:
https://www.mydh.org/portal/
There is a https. This is from xenial wonder what artful sees, let me reboot.

Seems like the certificate chain is incomplete on that site (per ssllabs). That's probably why you are getting the warning - the browser doesn't know to trust it.

What is the exact error you are getting?

Artful screen says:

https://www.mydh.org/portal/

Help says" l Firefox 50.1.0

Let me go check Xenial's level of Firefox

BTW, Google Chrome on Artful has no such problem.

[jerrylamos]

Oh, Firefox on Xenial is 53.0.2
which is a different level than on Artful's 50.0.1

Let me see if I can up level the Firefox I got with Artful,
BTW my Artful is from .iso from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live...md64.iso.zsync
and have done several
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I just checked Firefox on Xubuntu 17.10, it's version 52.0.1 here. I don't get any messages about an insecure site when clicking your link.

Firefox 53 here and I don't have any errors either. o.O

Tried to upgrade Artful level of Firefox.
No luck. Whatever I tried didn't work....Try again.

No luck. Artful says:

jerry@Lenovo2:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade firefox

Somehow my Artful list of "newest version" is way out of date. How do I get Artful updated? sudo apt-get update isn't doing it...
