Running Firefox 45.0 on a Windows 10 ver 1511.

Connecting to any Google site (only) gives the following error: == Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. The OCSP server experienced an internal error. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_SERVER_ERROR 

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

I can connect to other web sites in FF just fine. I can connect to Google in Chrome and IE just fine as well. I am using OpenDNS 208.67.220.220 ; 208.67.220.222 ; 208.67.222.220 My PC clock is correct (synced to NIST servers) I deleted the cert8.db and restarted FF. Same error. I uninstalled and re-installed FF. No joy.

I don't want to disable the "Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates" setting

How do I fix this? It can't be a universal problem w Google .. I don't see any other reports when I google this (using Chrome :)

Thanks.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
