Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.freerepublic.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

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.

However, if you go to a BLM website, they WILL steal all of your info, publish your house, go and loot it and leave all of you in the family one set of underwear so that when you walk down the street you will not have been left standing naked in the road.

This might be a Firefox problem with their latest software releases. I have Norton Security software. I had to DISABLE the software to be able to go to my credit unions website. Ridiculous.

I have to use Google Chrome to watch You Tube videos. Firefox no longer lets me play them.

Use BRAVE it’s free, no pop ups and no invasion into your system.

Yeah not Verizon (unless is some sort of local Verison issue) I just check my phone and Freerepublic popped up just fine.

Unclutch your pearls and tell us how you came to this conclusion.

It’s just telling you that you are using http//www.freerepubic.com . Try this and tell me what happens: https//www.freerepublic.com .

It is because it is an http instead of an https. Different browsers react differently.

I have a kindle, and I’ve been getting that error for the last two weeks on OANN, and for awhile, Breitbart.

This anti-spam warning itself is likely spam.

Your issue is you have some sort of malware - every year someone come around with this same complaint which is not the ISP’s fault, but something picked up by Win PCs

Verizon wireless and Spectrum WiFi here on a Chinese browser...UC Turbo. I had that problem previously for several weeks but then took the “s” out of “https” in my FR bookmark and it’s not a problem anymore. Removing the “s” was a Freeper suggestion.

I didn’t have a keyboard, I had a mouse. I asked my husband to send me the link to FR by FB messenger. He got a message saying it wasn’t an approved link.

Exit your bookmark for FR URL from HTTP to HTTPS. S is for secure. FR supports it.

I use both Firefox and Verizon together to access FR.

This is an end user issue.
