Hi !
Since last night this looks like an epidemic - this is a misconfiguration on Microsoft's server side.
If you want to, you can disable OCSP (which is a security mechanism) :
3-bar menu (the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner, right under the closing X) => Advanced => Certificates panel
And Let's keep our fingers crossed that Microsoft will fix the issue soon.
Another way to disable OCSP (for now) : Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling and set it's value to false
It is best to reset this pref via the right-click context menu to true once you are done with this website.
Another user mentioned that 'No Proxy' fixed it for him :
Options => Advanced => Network tab => Connection Settings: 'No Proxy'.

Hi - thanks for the response. I disable OCSP and this worked for about an hour - then it went again. Tried all three options - none worked.
Maybe Microsoft is on the case.
Am I the only one with this issue?
Hi
No, it looks like many other people have been impact by this. Microsoft knows about this issue and is working on resolving it.
