I have been using Firefox ESR 52.9.0 (32bit) on my Windows XP computer for some time now and a while back there was a problem with security certificates. They issued a special patch for the ESR version so we could continue to use Firefox. It would appear that this problem has somehow reappeared. Can we please get a patch once again to clear up this issue.

Thanks

I can't send troubleshooting information because I can't even connect to the Mozzilla website on my XP computer. I had to send this request from a different computer

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but do you have the clock on your computer set correctly and set to the correct timezone? That can sometimes cause these types of issues since the time on your computer will not match the time that the website is sending back in the certificate information.

Otherwise, you can try maybe checking the settings listed on the The OCSP server has no status for the certificate page or maybe even completing the workaround listed there.

You gave me the clue I needed. It was not the time zone. Somehow the month got changed from July 15 to December 15. I have no idea how that got changed, but as soon as I put in the correct date everything is working again. Thanks you so much for your quick reply.
