Hi

Unfortunately Microsoft has misconfigured a security feature (OCSP stapling) on their servers which got now cached in your local Firefox installation.

In order to resolve this:

  1. Enter about:config into the Firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) and
  2. Search for the preference named security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling.
  3. Double-click it and change its value to False

This will degrade a security feature in Firefox, so please revisit it in a couple of days again after Microsoft has fixed their stuff and turn it back on again then.
