I restarted Firefox to update it and now get this error when I try to access google.co.uk

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.co.uk. You are attempting to import a cert with the same issuer/serial as an existing cert, but that is not the same cert.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL
