That sounds more like a networking issue. Are you behind a firewall? Is it possible that you somehow blocked their OCSP server? Can you bypass the firewall for testing? It also looks like firefox caches the error: http://superuser.com/questions/755755/sec-error-ocsp-server-error-when-trying-to-open-a-https-page but you're having this issue for a while and more than one device now so it's not likely that it was a temporary problem. -- Fernando Rodriguez
