[Bonuslist] For Hall B users --> Fw: [Halla_running] Shifters - Firefox issues resolved

Yesterday, there was a memo from IT concerning the change of the security certificates which affects mostly Firefox. I haven't seen any issue with that in the Counting House, but in case you start to suffering one of those security warnings, here is the solution from Ole Hansen to the Hall A computers.

Cheers

See attached screenshots.

1) On the aonl machines, Firefox does start up (may be slow, wait a
minute or two), but then shows a connection error with the Prex homepage.

2) To resolve this, go to Edit->Preferences->Privacy and Security,
scroll all the way to the bottom, and uncheck the box labeled "Query
OCSP responder servers ..."

3) Reload the home page. Voila.

In all my browser configurations, I always turn OCSP querying off. In my
experience, it does more harm than good (see here). But we can discuss
this elsewhere.

Ole
