Error when trying to log in to outlook using Firefox

I am getting this error while trying to open my old Hotmail account. Started while actually in my account.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to outlook.live.com. Invalid OCSP signing certificate in OCSP response. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT

    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

Any idea for a fix?

I cleared my history files and went to outlook.com and it let me sign in.  I tried to change my password and it did not allow. I thought it was a hack.  Maybe MS has been hacked. Ron

Same thing happens to me when using Firefox, but was able to sign in and change password using IE, so that kind of reassured me it wasn't a hack

Hi,

Other solutions :

• click on this link : http://www.msn.com/fr-fr
• and then click on "Outlook.com"

or

• click on http://outlook.com/

useful, thx.

But I prefer use edge or opera during troubles instead lower security

Nah, this is clearly a problem with Microsoft. When asked, the guys at Mozilla said:

"ocsp is an advanced security feature in Firefox - this error needs to be fixed by the web site in question, so please also contact their support channels and report the issue."

Also, the fact that this error started affecting all of us at the same time also suggests that the problem is with Microsoft.

hey i got this problem to tonight! you can use this fix

as a work around until MS fix it :)

you can temporarily work around the issue and turn off ocsp stapling: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling. double-click it and change its value to false.

since this will slightly lower your security, it is important however, that after a bit of time when the issue gets resolved by the site (maybe try again in 24 hours), you go back and switch the setting to "true" again!

I don't know how you figured out that workaround, but thanks sooo much.
