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?

    This is usually a very easy fix if you are clicking on a link you created for your Hotmail account. From time to time, MS changes it's web address slightly and if you use your old link you will get the indicated error message. All you need to do is go to the Hotmail login window without using the link and you should be able to to login in. Once you do replace your old link with a new link..

    There's another trick that works for me about half the time. I have Outlook.com bookmarked on the Firefox bookmarks toolbar. After signing in to Outlook.com, when the secure connection error message appears, I just keep clicking on the Outlook icon on the toolbar, and after about six reappearances of the error message, the "opening your inbox" page appears, and it works. If clicking on the icon doesn't work after a dozen times, sometimes closing the tab and opening a new one, then clicking, works.

    I have no idea why this works, and only some of the time.

    Rapidly clicking on the Try Again button works for me, like in 3-5 rapid clicks. Try this before editing your firefox config.

    Very strange. I just got in with Chrome, did my business and logged out again. Then I went to Firefox ready to hammer at the Try Again button but it went straight into Outlook without any bother.

    Does that mean it's fixed? Anyone know?
