You didn't mention the site, so I'll go with the headline news for now:

Did this just start about 6 hours ago? Firefox users have been getting OCSP errors on various major sites that use the Akamai Content Distribution Network.

As a temporary workaround, you can disable OCSP "stapling." With that change, instead of Firefox expecting sites to provide an OCSP certificate -- a verification that its certificate has not been revoked -- Firefox will query the service provider that signed the certificate. This is good for security but not the best arrangement for privacy, because the service provider knows a computer at your IP address is checking out that site. So after you finish using the site, you can switch the setting back.

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste ocsp and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling preference to switch the value from true to false

Success?
