Forum not loading on Firefox

As the title says. Trying to access the forum on FF at the mo gives the following (just informing in case it's something Piriform need to chase up with Mozilla):

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to forum.piriform.com. The OCSP server suggests trying again later. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_TRY_SERVER_LATER

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Same firefox mobile

Gives me errors when trying to moderate via tapatalk too.

Found very temporary fix

Go to about:config

Search ocsp

Toggle security.ssl.enable_ocsp_must_staple

To false

and the website loads. However I DO NOT SUGGEST OTHERS DOING THIS without or another firefox wiz explains.

Of note (at least as of a year ago) this issue, web as a whole not piriform specific, is seen on internet explorer and firefox but not chrome. It's due to ssl stapling

It seems, according to my research so far, somehow connected to bad ssl certificate

Actually try without, I'm getting a good certificate now with all preferences reset to default

it was working again with FF but mid-use, going back a page, FF died with the same error listed above.

Chrome unaffected.

Salvation, but not how to fix server side

All the way at bottom, OCSP failure is the issue. Chrome/clones should be unaffected, though I've read some opera (chrome clone now right?) reports from of another issue today which I wonder is related

Yup, stopped working again :rolleyes:

Working at the moment on IE 11 but not SeaMonkey.

Admins are aware of problem.

Seems to be fixed now I think :)

Connecting through Firefox OK today.

PS. Firefox 48.0 is out, Just installed on my laptop but no release notes yet at Mozilla.
