The website still works fine on Chrome, so what is going on? If I use the website on chrome, does that mean my info is insecure? I have the newest official update of FF, Using Windows 7 64 bit.

There has been an issue reported with some websites that use the Akamai network as their CDN servers to host files. This is about sending a stapled OCSP response along with the certificate that is used to confirm that the certificate is valid and hasn't expired. This response is corrupted or not valid if you get this error message.

If you still have this problem (not all servers may be fixed) then try this:

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.
