borjoyzee Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 This started to happen a few days ago. I have the site bookmarked, whenever I click on the bookmark in Firefox 90% of the time I get this: Secure Connection FailedAn error occurred during a connection to www.nexusmods.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. There's a bit more but that's the main jist of it, something about malicious sites. I know it isn't but I ran a virus check but nothing. If I keep trying however I eventually get through although it takes a bit longer than it should, and once I'm "in" there doesn't seem to be a problem browsing mods or anything. Hasn't happened on any other site so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRudra Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) It's a conflict between Firefox and some anti-virus programs, mainly Avast and AVG. I had this happen to me today so I did some research on it this morning (well, I guess it's yesterday now). For now, Mozilla is recommending that we disable HTTPS scanning in Avast/AVG (instructions here). A representative of Avast has said they're going to roll out an update in a day or two (he said within 24 hours and as of now that was 12 hours ago) so you may just want to wait for that instead.
