Good morning (from here in Perth, Western Australia). I was updating some of my older archives this morning and when I was doing FanFicAuthors.Net I got the following error:
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='abraxan.fanficauthors.ne t', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /On_Second_Thoughts/index/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1123)')))
When I went to the site in one of the browsers installed on my machine, I got the following when I went to one of the stories:
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to ruskbyte.fanficauthors.net. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.
It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
What can you do about it?
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for ruskbyte.fanficauthors.net expired on 19/09/2021.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
I can bypass it on the browser but how can I do the same in the plugin?
