Trouble with GRO

[AngusMcCoatup]

www.gro.gov.uk - I get the error message when using Firefox and Win8.1.

Try https://www.gro.gov.uk instead.

Thank you all for you help.

KG, I am on Vista, and Firefox is 52.9.0, and they are not updating Firefox for Vista
When I tried to log on with OH's laptop, with Win 10 and Firefox I still got the error message. I was able to "Connect Anyway", but with my desktop and Vista, that option did not come up

Gadget, It is possible that has something to do with it.

Angus and hallmark, I tried that, but still got the error, so it would seem that it is Vista that is causing the problem.

Again, many thanks for your help. I will have to use OH's laptop for the odd occasion I need to check GRO, until I upgrade to a new desk top. That will be after we have been changed over to the NBN here. Hopefully that will allow me to get higher speeds and less buffering

I frankly I do not know what I am on. I just turn the computer on any start typing. Ordered a Marriage
Certificate today from the GRO. As usual no problems.

I'm having the same challenges as AC. I have Firefox and Windows 7 Professional on my PC.
I've tried https://www.gro.gov.uk/ but that doesn't work.
 
I can get on the GRO site on my iPad with Safari.

I've got Win7 on an old laptop tucked away  and will try getting the GRO site tomorrow

No problems here using Win 10 & Firefox.

Have you possibly upped the security on Firefox by refusing cookies ?

I have just tried the GRO site with Win7 and latest Firefox and have had no problems.

I normally use Win10 or Mac Mojave with Firefox and have had no problems that I can recall.

Please excuse the delay in responding. I just had surgery.
I can now access the GRO site and just successfully searched for my father's birth record in 1907. I don't know what has changed, but I'm IN.
Again, I'm using Windows 7 Professional and Firefox. Since Windows 7 won't be supported after 14th January 2020, I'm considering all options for a new PC or laptop - or even trying to download Windows 10.
Thanks
