You can check the OCSP settings.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates > Validation:
  • [X] "Use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to confirm the current validity of certificates"
  • [X] "Validate a certificate if it specifies an OCSP server"
  • [ ] "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid"
