    I am getting the following error in Firefox on Windows 10 when trying to access Youtube:

    secure connection failed SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG.
    A cursory Google mostly points to a server-side issue but I'm not getting the error on Android on the same network.


    Any clues?

    What about edge or chrome on the laptop? I'd start my troubleshooting there.

    Is the time and date correct on the laptop?

    Found the problem. A filter on the router! Doh!
