Re: MTFCI website defunct?
Here is the explanation that Firefox has for its warning. Possibly not a hack but could be change over to Standard Time. "Certificates for secure websites (the address begins with https://) are valid only for a certain period of time. If a website presents a certificate with validity dates that don't match the date on your computer's clock, Firefox can't verify that it is secure and will show you an error page.
Such issues can often be fixed by setting the correct date, time and time zone on your computer system. If this does not solve the problem, it could be caused by other issues, such as a misconfigured web server or an expired certificate"
NOTE: Since "we" are all getting the error message it would indicate that the problem lies with the website and not our individual computer systems.
Here is the difference of the prefix to sites with https:// vs http://
The problem with the regular HTTP protocol is that the information that flows from server to browser is not encrypted, which means it can be easily stolen. HTTPS protocols remedy this by using an SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate, which helps create a secure encrypted connection between the server and the browser, thereby protecting potentially sensitive information from being stolen as it is transferred between the server and the browser.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Such issues can often be fixed by setting the correct date, time and time zone on your computer system.
Not in this case. All those settings are correct here, and displayed at the top of my screen. I think the Firefox statement that "The issue is most likely with the website..." applies here.
The inevitable often happens.

The MTFCI is not defunct. The new SSL certificate is loading and may take a day to reload.
