This Connection is Untrusted keeps coming up. It won't accept any certificates.

Whenever I try to go to any page that requires a log in I keep getting this message page "This Connection is Untrusted". On some pages it won't give me the option to accept and go on ( example: when I try to log in to YouTube). It seems that Firefox does this when I unplug my computer for a couple of days. I've tried to go into settings and change the certificates part but I can't get anything to work.

Check the calendar/clock on your computer, to be sure that the date/time are correct. If your computer will not hold/keep the correct information, you may need to replace the "coin" battery on your motherboard (see your manufacturer or your computer manual for instructions and to determine whether you have a replaceable battery or if it is soldered to the motherboard).

You can view the certificate information by clicking the Site Identity Button (icon at the left end of the Location/URL bar; see below) when on the page, then click More Information, on the Page Info "Security" tab, click "View Certificate", then on the "General" tab, look at dates under "Validity".
