Like above, random websites, and lots of the ones I use, say "Server Connection Failed" and then I can't even go on the website. I am using FF 35.01 on Linux Mint 17.1. This has never happened before... The pages work just fine on another device or Chrome!

I found my problem!

I checked the link that you gave me, but none of the error messages matched. So, I Googled the error message, and it apparently had to do with the date of my computer. The date was one day off! And that had to do with some https sites... Here is how I fixed it/solved my problem: http://www.genuinescope.com/blog/sec_error_ocsp_future_response/

But thanks for helping me narrow down my problem!
