Should You Implement the Above Workaround? Whether that’s a good or bad thing is discussed in the next section.

As soon as you make the change in Firefox, you will be able to access all the sites that are using the certificate and causing the Secure Connection Failed error in Firefox.

This can be used as a temporary solution to get to the Web site, but it has some consequences that are discussed in the next section. Here’s a workaround that will disable the OCSP Stapling in Firefox. There are times when I have made exceptions to my rule, depending on the situation and the type of risk I am willing to take. If I don’t have a clue what I am doing, I don’t implement the solution. I like to understand what I am doing, try to figure out if it has any security implications backup my configuration, files, plugin, registry, or whatever I am working with, and then carefully implement a solution. I am a security-conscience person who doesn’t implement a solution just because it worked for someone on the Internet. I found a workaround on the Internet that allowed me to connect to my site every single time on any computer where I made the change in Firefox configuration. When I ran into this issue, I was on Firefox version 53.0.3, which was the latest version available, so updating my browser wasn’t an option. While troubleshooting the issue, I learned that a Firefox update in the past had solved this issue. This information was useful for me in troubleshooting the problem and eventually resolving it successfully. Looking at the error message, it was obvious to me that the Web browser had trouble creating the connection due to an invalid signature in the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) response.

They were not sure how to solve the problem. I called my hosting provider and they were also able to duplicate the error, but only on Firefox.

I even tried logging into Firefox on a computer in a different state (California) and got the same error. The sites gave the Secure Connection Failed error only in Mozilla Firefox. All the sites using the UCC certificate worked flawlessly in both Chrome and Internet Explorer on multiple computers. Some of you may have noticed that I said the sites “stopped working in Mozilla Firefox.” That’s right. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. An error occurred during a connection to OCSP response has an invalid signature.
