I got this error sometime today after doing a system upgrade:
Your Computer Clock is Wrong
Your computer thinks it is 6/2/2022, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. To visit www.youtube.com, update your computer clock in your system settings to the current date, time, and time zone, and then refresh www.youtube.com.

I fixed it by running:
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
