  Just so I understand, you are trying to insert a link within the content on your site to a pdf file located on another site...and when a user clicks on that link (to the external pdf), using Firefox they receive the error?
  
  In general terms (according to Mozilla), the error occurs when the PC thinks the https:// link is to a site with a bad security certificate, which means their certificate is bad/outdated, or the clock is wrong on your PC, or some other possible issues.

  Yes, your summary is right - thank you!
  
  I'm trying to link to a pdf at my (exponent) site - how do I rectify the security certificate issue?
  
  Thanks again!

  In Avast security products you can disable the interception of secure connections: Open the dashboard of your Avast application. Go to Settings > Active Protection and click Customize next to Web Shield. Uncheck the Enable HTTPS Scanning setting and confirm this by clicking OK.

  In this case it's cause was accidently adding an https:// to the link, but it pointed to a site that wasn't set up to support https:// protocol
