Firefox on Fedora: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY

Hi,

I can't open certain https pages using Firefox (firefox-57.0.1-1.fc27) on Fedora 27. I get the following error message: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY.

This only happens if I install Firefox through the fedora repository. If I install Firefox manually using the tar.bz2 archive, I don't have that problem.

Could anyone explain to me the difference and the reason for that odd behavior? How can I solve the problem?

May need to install or update to current NSS package for the distro build of Firefox to work.
