Click on "learn more" to learn more. Then, if you still have questions, come back.

Having said that:

Generally, this site has an invalid certificate. Usually a similar message pops up because the site's certificate has expired due to negligence or not wanting to pay for the renewal. I have never seen an end-of-file error; it seems to indicate that they have not stored their certificate correctly or somehow corrupted their file.

What you should do: Watch something else like Sesame Street, or enter the site anyway, but don't reveal any information about yourself, since you can't be certain that this site is what it claims to be.

DISCLAIMER: It might be better to click on "learn more" than to listen to my advice.

When I click on "learn more" a new tab opens for 2-3 secs and closes itself. I am not able to read anything.

A Secure Connection Failed error page will include a description of the error, an option to report the error to Mozilla and a Try Again button. There is no option to add a security exception to bypass this type of error.
I guess there is no way to bypass this error.

I've just checked the site (using PaleMoon, not Firefox) and there's no problem. Have you tried going directly to the site, rather than via a link on another site?

If have not yet tried visiting the site directly but if I do that it will be very difficult to find the particular video I am trying to watch.
