1269500 - New user/profile: "first run/learn more" splash screen "connection is not secure"

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[sroldan24]

Attachment: firefox-connection-not-secure.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Load firefox with a new profile or for the very first time. You will land on this URL: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/45.0/firstrun/learnmore/ 


Actual results:

Got: Your connection is not secure: "The owner of www.mozilla.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website." 


Expected results:

It should have landed in the splash screen for first run learn more instead of the warning page. 

Adding on to why this is important: a lot of developers use Firefox to run tests using tools like Cucumber. By default, the tool tries to open the browser with a new profile; but then it encounters this, and the tests fail.

This happens in both: Red hat and Windows 7

I can not reproduce this issue on my machine:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0

Do you get this same message if you open firefox in a private window?
