Loading some pages over HTTPS results in a generic "Secure Connection Failed" error, unless hard refresh is performed.
Only in Firefox, when I browse to a specific page, indicated below, the script that is being referenced loads correctly. Upon any subsequent refreshes, however, I am greeted with a generic "Secure Connection Failed" error, without any of the additional troubleshooting information. A hard refresh, by pressing CTRL+F5, allows the script to load again.
(LINK REDACTED)
As mentioned, this only occurs on Firefox, and appears to happen regardless of the SSL certificate that I apply to it. The script that fails to load is using the domain that is protected by the certificate. Has anybody come across a similar issue with this?

Good Afternoon,
Thank you both for the suggestions.
Pkshadow, I had actually already checked my security software, and the issue was occurring across all different systems either running or not running any security software.
jscher2000, I actually looked further into this after you mentioned that this is trying to retrieve the script from the cache. It seems that the Content-Disposition forwarding does not work with cached items. As a result, I have set HTTP headers for the folders that are exhibiting this issue to include "Cache-Control: no-store,no-cache". Adding this HTTP header has resolved the issue.

What security software are you running ?
That's so strange...
The Browser Console shows a successful 304 (screenshot attached), indicating Firefox did connect, and has the option to use a cached copy of the script. So why does Firefox report that the connection failed??
The only unusual thing I notice is that you've set a filename in Content-Disposition for this script. Could that be affecting Firefox's ability to correctly retrieve the script from cache?
