Hi, Starting yesterday, 19 March, when I try to visit the Washington Examiner website, https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/, I see this message:

An error occurred during a connection to www.washingtonexaminer.com. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked.

But I can visit the site with the latest version of Microsoft Edge. I prefer to use Firefox however. Any ideas?
Thanks - Dave

The certificate has been revoked as you can see here:
The website will have to get a new certificate.
Firefox seems to be the only browser that does the revocation (CRL) check in real-time, other browsers appear to download/update this CRL list from time to time and there it can take a few days before they are aware of a certificate revocation.

Hi
We had a question about this earlier today that you may find of use:
Hi Seburo, James in the referenced thread says "Nothing to do with Mozilla or the Firefox web browsers." But I don't see the problem with the Edge browser.
Just wait? Thanks - Daave

Missed my other comments I see.
If the other web browsers did the same as Firefox then these sites having revoked certificates issues would perhaps be fixed right away.
Yeah, my bad. Now I see the light. Thanks!!
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ seems to load now instead of giving the revoked certificate error.
Got it. Thanks!
