Not sure if this belongs in this sub-forum. If not, please move it to the right one.

Just noticed after upgrading my firefox: if I now try to connect to springfiles.com using "https" I get this message:
Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to springfiles.com. Peer's Certificate has been revoked. Error code: SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE
Luckily, so far using the unencrypted "http" address it still works...

I also receive this error when trying to load https://www.springfiles.com

Safari here had no problems loding the website. Just tried, based of the link Silentwings posted.

For me it also still works in chromium. Firefox seems to have gotten more picky when it comes to certificates.

Just noticed: If I uncheck "Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates" (in preferences>advanced>certificates) it works again.

Windows 7, Firefox 47.0
Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates
Presumably the key to this.

because of some failure the old ssl certificate was revoked. i guess clearing browser cache / etc will fix it.

Clearing cache worked! Thanks :-)
