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.

 Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

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!

Версия ubuntu: 10.0.4 LTS, gnome 2 (не знаю версию, честно говоря, но точно не третий)) Компьютер: ноутбук Toshiba Satellite L300 - 1c6 Плагины:

  • firebug
  • fireFTP
  • stylish
  • Greasemonkey
  • Download Statusbar
  • Easy YouTube VideoDownloader
  • EPUBReader
  • Vkontakte.ru MP3 Музыка Качалка
  • Вконтакте тулбар 0.6.0 (поставлен отсюда: http://vkontakte.ru/toolbar)
  • Яндекс Бар

Всё последних версий на момент написания. Пользовательских скриптов и стилей включённых нету.

Тема по умолчанию. Плагины: DivX Web Player Shockwave Flash также последних версий.

Откатился до версии 8.0.1, поэтому "Информация для решения проблем" оттуда, потому что мои бедные нервы не выдержат ещё одного обновления до ff 9, а оттуда я скопировать забыл...

Every time pull up youtube in Firefox it immediately freezes or hangs the entire browser. the only thing I can do is close down Firefox via the task manager. This happens every single time. It used to work fine. I've even disable accelerate video. Nothing seems to work. The only time it kind of works is when I uninstall and reinstall firefox and/or flash player. Then the very first time I pull up youtube it will work great but when I close down the browser then reopen it and go to youtube, I have the same exact problem as before.

Firefox will pull up youtube with no problem when I uninstall the flashplayer (of course can't see videos then) but once it's installed youtube freezes.

Also Internet Explorer pulls up youtube videos great, just like Firefox used to do. Don't know what's wrong or what's happened but youtube immediately freezes or hangs Firefox when flashplayer is installed in firefox

Here's a strange problem. I always use Firefox, but of course, still have MSIE on my system. Today, 3 seconds after I log in to my hotmail account, the screen immediately switches itself to espn.go.com without any prompting from me (no clicks by me or mouse movement.) Thought it might be a hotmail problem (like it was hacked), but I don't experience this with MSIE, just Firefox. I ran a couple of deep cleaning virus/malware utilities, then rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Is it a Firefox hack? Anyone have any insight? I use Firefox 8.0.1 and haven't upgraded (don't really want to...actually want to go backwards so that certain add ons will work.)

Online vidoes, such as those from the weather channel or utube, will not play on Firefox. They play fine on Internet Explorer, so I assume it is a problem with Firefox.

After I upgraded to the latest v8.01 I have lost all my tabbed sites and even when trying to add them and save them with the Tools>Options>General>Start up>when Firefox starts selected feature "show my windows and tabs from last time" it does not hold the saved sites and when browser is restarted it always loses all the tabs and only shows one tab with Firefox home webpage. I need to have several sites open to work and the only way to do that now is to make sure I click the "Use current pages" under General Option in Tools. It is getting very annoying because I keep changing my tabs to different websites during a session and I am used to just closing the browser, relying on having them all back in when restarting Firefox.

The Firefox 8.0.1 release is crashing ALL THE TIME on MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8 after installing latest Flash version

At this time, Firefox is virtually unusable on the Mac now.

This is not related to any particular website, although websites with flash or java script or "fancier" I/Fs are assured to crash Firefox.

For example, a minute ago, I tried to enter a search phrase into Google (main page) and crash. I tried to enter a search phrase into Netflix search window and crash. I hadn't seen a crash on the Fox News pages though and they are rich content.

Firefox wasn't doing this before the 8.0.1 update (but I can't distinguish this event from the update of Flash to 11.1.102)

I do know that Firefox is virtually unusable (and I'm in Safari at this moment).

I suppose its possible that something on the Mac changed (firmware) but why isn't there a problem with Safari then?

Its not like I have time for a full fledged debug of another software application!!! I don't (and I AM a professional software developer that develops on ALL the platforms/OS including OSX all versions, Windows back to XP, and Linux most flavors and I'm a Qt expert also)

I've NEVER had this problem before. At first I was leaning towards the Flash update. But now I'm not sure.

If someone would suggest a progression of moves to isolate this issue, I'll take that much time to troubleshoot this. I can't quite believe that more people aren't having this problem.

ok.. I'll start with disabling plugins. Then I'll start backing up to previous versions, starting with Flash, then Firefox as these were the latest 2 updates.
