"An error occurred during a connection to www.[website].org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR"

Firefox Privacy and security

I'm using Firefox 116.0.1 on Ubuntu linux. I'm not using a VPN, antivirus, a proxy or any kind of http filtering.

When attempting to load a certain website I get the message: "An error occurred during a connection to www.[website].org. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR"

Google results tells me that firefox throws this error when it can't resolve a safe SSL/TLS connection to the website.

The thing is, I don't care. I'm aware of the risks of browsing on a website with outdated or non-existent certs.

How do I get firefox to drop this security measure?

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
