Secure Connection Failed on all https sites?
On all HTTPS sites, I get this message...
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.adobe.com. (or whatever site... lynda.com, bill pay sites, banks, etc...)
The OCSP server experienced an internal error.
(Error code: sec_error_ocsp_server_error)

This happens ever since I updated from FF6 on all sites that use https for logging on... I've contacted most of the sites and they say it's not them... they are all sites that I've accessed in the past and use regularly... now since I've updated FF, they don't work anymore and I've had to use another browser to access these sites... it's a royal pain!

Thank you very much! That solved it, but is it secure to leave it unchecked?
Thanks again!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Check the OCSP settings.
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates > Validation:
"Use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to confirm the current validity of certificates" "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid"
Thanks for your reply... I looked at those settings and both those items are checked off... Are they supposed to be checked off??? Or should I uncheck one of them? Also Validate all certificates using the following OCSP server: Response Signer: Builtin Object Token: Go Daddy Class 2 CA is checked off, I tried unchecking it and checked off Validate a certificate if it specifies an OCSP server... That didn't work, so I switched it back... Any other thoughts on this subject would be much appreciated.
Thanks again!
You probably need to uncheck the setting at the bottom like that shows as set like I expected.

The default is the unchecked state as you can see by the value of the security.OCSP.require pref on the about:config page, via the location bar.
I fixed this problem with setting up the "Date & Time Properties" in Win XP SP3 !!! Just set them up to date, And everything is fine now.
