Spurious? SEC_ERROR_OCSP_OLD_RESPONSE errors

more options

At least twice today I have received this error trying to reach unrelated sites that I have not had problems with before. Chrome has no problem with this. Perhaps something weird is going on with the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP - deals with cert revocations) as handled in Firefox?

My system calendar and clock are correct according to my iPhone and a WWV based gadget. That is not the problem.

It's just occurred to me that it's been nearly a week since I rebooted this system. I have noticed wonky unrelated things if I go more than 4 days, so perhaps the problem is not Firefox related after all.

After rebooting my machine, I no longer seem to have this problem. Sorry to have bothered the forum.
