How many sites are affected? Usually deleting cert8.db wouldn't be the first thing to try. If you do want to try that, make sure Firefox has fully exited and there are not Firefox windows open and no Firefox processes running.
If you get the error page with the heading "Your connection is not secure" with an "Advanced" button to get more technical information: Please click that button and copy/paste the details there and especially the SEC_ERROR... code, into a reply.

If you get the more general message, secure connection failed, try again a few times. One user reported that for quite a while after starting Firefox, they get that error, and they have to exit out and restart Firefox to browse normally. No reason was uncovered for that yet.
