Error connecting to own app using SSL

I am getting the following error, although I have the CA and server certificates imported in Firefox:

SSL peer had some unspecified issue with the certificate it received. Error code: SSL_ERROR_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN_ALERT

I have no option to Add an exception or "Accept the risk and continue". It's not a public server, it's my own app developed on Jetty and used to work until 1 year ago. Simple cert chain: one CA which signs the server cert. Both imported in Firefox.

Firefox 94 on Fedora 33 Works on Chrome
