Hello Lee_CO, be sure you have in Firefox button > Options > Options > Advanced > Encryption > Validation > UNCHECKED both :
- When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid
and
- Use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to confirm the validaty of certificates
check also if your security software blocks the access.
thank you
I don't think disabling strict OCSP checking is good advice.
The problem with www.academia.edu may be a temporary failure, so just try again later.
Temporarily disabling strict OCSP checking may be a temporary workaround, but I'd not recommend to leave it permanently disabled.
I appreciate the thought. I am concerned about security, so I would prefer not to disable OCSP checking. This is a site I use regularly - and I can get to it via internet explorer, but prefer Firefox. What was interesting was that I could find no command in the help menu to report a broken site - only a forgery. Thanks for the responses.
I don't think it would make much sense to report a broken site to Mozilla.
Check if there is a webmaster email contact or something like that to report it to academia.edu. It's their OCSP server which is broken, not Firefox.
I have the same problem too.. went to ver 30, no fix, deinstalled, installed version 28, same problem - back to ver 30. Microsoft IE has no problem with the site.. Site is Support at Netgear.. Seems they should be on top of this stuff, so I suspect it is Firefox..
