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

Any idea for a fix?

    Try to access it via www.outlook.com. That way you don't have to change your security settings whilst this issue gets resolved.

    Doesn't work. You really should do better testing of your proposed solutions, before proposing them.

    The best workaround continues to be to type about:config into Firefox's address bar, then to set security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling to false, temporarily, until Microsoft sorts this out... as per the instructions in the most helpful reply in this thread.

    It helped to me! I hope this will be fixed soon, since Edge let me sign in into my OneDrive Account and files with no problem.

    Thanks for this temporary solution.
