Ever since yesterday, when I try to access Google or Youtube or Google Images, sometimes the page won't load and it will say that secure connection failed and display the following message:



SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO


It has only happened few times so far and whenever I hit F5 the page just loads normally, but I'm still concerned. I tried to look for solutions online but every topic was Windows specific. Is there something wrong?

  • o/t, but I've been having this issue on macOS too. (this was the first thing Google brought up for me). I don't think it's platform-specific.

Are you using Firefox? This appears to be a FF bug:



https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1462303



Be aware that this can also be caused by something getting in the way of your traffic, either good-natured things like intrusion prevention systems or bad things like malware.
