ERROR CODE: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT
Firefox does not allow me to open this site: https://www.mysubs.co.za/ . It gives the following error code :SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT.
This is the site that I read my local newspaper on daily.
It is opening fine on other browsers like Chrome

Try to disable OCSP Stapling temporarily by toggling this pref to false on the about:config page to see if that has effect.
- security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
It is best to reset this pref via the right-click context menu to true once you are done with accessing an affected website since this is a security feature.

I had no problem with the link.
There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.

The link also works in IE and in Google Chrome, but not in Firefox on my PC. I have the AVAST disabled and still got the very same error. The error clearly says it is a Firefox problem
The error says to contact the website.
I called for more help.

Thanks Cor el. This was working. I can open the website now and I have reset it to the previous state. Regards
