Running Firefox 39.0 on Windows 7 and get the following error when attempting to connect to some websites: The signature algorithm in the signature field of the certificate does not match the algorithm in its signatureAlgorithm field. (Error code: mozilla_pkix_error_signature_algorithm_mismatch) Got this today when trying to connect to Google.com

After testing it, it appears to have been resolved by Google's servers. Are you still seeing this issue, and if so, what are the two algorithms that display with you right click on the page, select "Page Info" and click on the security tab.
