Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to blog.cacert.org because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

blog.cacert.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.
 
Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust blog.cacert.org because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.
 
Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

Just tested it in Linux environment (chrome/Firefox 78.6 ESR/Firefox 84.0.1):

Access (and login to admin console) is working for https://blog.cacert.org.

Please try to delete HSTS-settings for blog.cacert.org:

    Open the browsing history by pressing Ctrl + Shift + H
    Go to the site for which you want to clear HSTS settings (in this case blog.cacert.org)
    Now right-click on that site and then click on "Forget About This Site".

This will delete any settings for blog.cacert.org ... and you should be able to use blog.cacert.org again.
