This is happening today and is scheduled to last until 1900 GMT. I discovered this at exactly the wrong time, while upgrading 4 devices to Kaspersky Total Security 2017. Normally, this is a breeze: Kaspersky updates all 4 on the same code, at the same time, automatically. Today, I received a warning telling me that the Google certificate was not accepted by FF. I dived into the relevant Kaspersky setting and reset certificates. This worked on 3 devices but not on SWMBO’s Lenovo lappy, which of course is my fault. 😥
At first I trawled Microsoft and Google for answers, then approached it from Firefox Help. “We are migrating the site…” WTF? Why not warn us when we open the browser? I think it may cause other problems, so FF users, if you have any problems, that’s why. This comes after a Sky guy phoned me yesterday asking about my email regarding cancellation and different contract lengths: They had my Bband, phone & calls, and TV, all on separate contracts, ending at different times. The guy listened and surprised me by resetting that to one contract ending at the date of the earliest. He was a bit miffed when I refused to give him email address, password and other info over the phone: “But I am a Sky engineer!” -“And I am a brain surgeon, but you are just a voice on my phone: send the details via email. You have my email address there, don’t you?” -“Yes.” – “then why do you want me to give it?” He sent the email.
Coincidence or not, at 12:05 this morning, my network and Sky On demand services, dropped out while I was watching Fortitude. I am not at all content…. 🙁 :wacko: :negative:

?????
But while I’m on the subject of Sky, here’s one for Duke Steve, it seems that Sky and Discovery Channel have made up after their spat:
Quite chuffed about that, I like Discovery. Well, most of it – some American comentary is very “Goshdarn, willya lookatthat!” Perhaps we’ve been spoiled by the great Sir David.

Sorry I should of mentioned it I suppose.
February 2, 2017 at 2:15 pm #3224Steve, I only heard of Discovery and Sky settling their argument, online at BBC yesterday morning: Last night my Sky sceen filled up with Discvery and other documentaries, Nature, Science, all kinds of stuff, all free. Some old, but some of that I like, such as Walking With Dinosaurs, Walking With Beasts, I like all that stuff.
No need to be sorry, it’s FF should apologise, they should have informed users before they migrated the site. All OK now anyway.
