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

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
