What do you use Tor browser for ?


What do you use Tor browser for ?
When I try to open porn sites in regular Firefox I get this error (please see attachment). I don't watch any illegal porn. Just usual porn. The same websites opens fine under Tor browser.

This has nothing to do with legality, or porn.
There simply is a website with an invalid certificate.
Have you tried opening it with http:// instead of https://?

I just tried what you suggested but it automatically reverts back to https and then I get the same error.

On TOR browser or on normal Firefox?
Do you use HTTPS everywhere?
If not, I think you need to clear the browser cache, then try again. It's tricky with Firefox. You might even have to start with a clean profile just to test this.
