Just a suggestion. Some anti-virus programs in order to monitor web traffic for
malicious content, will subvert you ssl connection. That is, the anti-virus
will present to the browser it's own certificate, so it can decrypt the
traffic, and use a second certificate to connect to the site. It's possible the
browser is catching the deception.
Take a look at https://www.grc.com/default.htm for more information under HTTPS
Interception Detection.
For what its worth, I have Kaspersky, which has this feature (although you can
disable it) but have not seen the problem. I also have ad block plus, ghostery,
and noscript plugins. Noscript I disable most of its features though.
