PLEASE just let me into my Yahoo email!!! Firefox tells meYahoo's "SEC error revoked certificate." Just do what you have to do. Thank you.
Ya, like I said. Suddenly, Firefox won't let me into Yahoo mail. Is Firefox telling me I can't use Yahoo mail? My entire life is in there. "SEC error revoked certificate." Just make it so that I can actually use my email. Thank you.

Screen shot of the error and FF version and O/S version? And any A/V or Firewall installed or adblockers installed?
I don't know how to make a screenshot. I'm using the current, up-to-date Firefox version. I've confirmed that. No firewall. Using Adblock Plus. Why do things like this happen out of the blue? No warning. Suddenly, boom. My email is not available. Three minutes before, it was fine.
Do you use a bookmark or are you starting with the main (home) page of this website?
If you use a bookmark then navigate to the web page starting with the main page or the sign in page in case there is a problem with this bookmark.
Related to my problem, here's a cut-and-paste view of what appears on my screen: Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked. Error code: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE

No bookmark. Yahoo is my home page. From there, I go to Yahoo's own link to email. Is this really so complicated? It worked fine. Suddenly, it doesn't.
Just discovered: the same error message appears when I click on Yahoo's FINANCE page. And I just noticed a horoscope displayed which I never chose to allow in my Yahoo preferences, at the home-page. And NOTHING appears on the Yahoo home-page below the featured big picture, and the row of smaller thumbnails with teaser-headlines underneath each one.
You can check the connection settings.
- Options/Preferences -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":

Same error message also when I click on Yahoo Sports. More and more, this is looking like a Yahoo problem. Firefox is doing what it is supposed to do, everywhere else. BUT, the error message DOES say that it's Firefox which is blocking my access to my email account on Yahoo.
So. I'm an old guy. Seems to me that someone at Firefox could call the idiots at Yahoo and tell them to fix their lovely certificate. I'm using Malwarebytes, Avast antivirus and WiseCare 365 tools. And the CCleaner.

Firefox is the name of the web browser (third one actually) as it is Mozilla that makes it.

Still no good. Thanks for all the replies, but it sounds and feels like we are grabbing at straws, just hoping to guess and hit upon the solution. Is that a good strategy? Anyone KNOW how to fix this? Or are we stuck, because, in the end, we humans have already put the MACHINES in charge, and now we don't know what to do. Because machines have problems, and they cannot THINK.
Got the same problem here. Google and Safari work fine, but not firefox.
The issue APPEARS to be resolved. Thank you.
