Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.myalro.com. Invalid OCSP signing certificate in OCSP response. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT 

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Further Trouble shooting shows My connection to that site isn't encrypted. I also have this issue on other pages as well. How do I add an exception to get around this? I know the Connection isn't encrypted and I don't need it to be. I've refreshed Mozilla, deleted the cert8 file, nothing seems to work! What happened to the advanced option to add an exception?

First let me mention that if you try to access that site using HTTP (insecure) it redirects to HTTPS (secure) so you do not have the option to make an insecure connection.

This very specific error code has affected a lot of sites recently. (Caused by an issue with certain Symantec SSL certificates.) However, this site is no longer affected by that problem and I can load it without an error. Since large sites often use files distributed around the world on different servers, there might be a delay for different regions in getting the latest certificates.

If you need a temporary workaround, see: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1179899
