Hello,

I wanted to bring up an issue regarding OCSP stapling.
I filled this bug shortly after Firefox 27 came out:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972304

Short conclusion: If you have enabled OCSP stapling on your server this
will break the possibility to add certificate exceptions with Firefox
27.

I find it a bit worrying that this issue hasn't received any attention
yet. To make this clear: This made me disable OCSP stapling on my
production machines with customers. And it's a serious regression to
the previous version 26.

I think it's pretty obvious that OCSP stapling is an important feature
and to regain *really workiung* certificate revocation support in
browsers it's an important building block. So I think we should reach
out to server operators to enable it.
However, the longer this issue stays in Firefox the harder it will be,
because usually Server operators don't enable anything if it causes any
kind of trouble, no matter how much sense it makes in terms of security.

I'd prefer disabling OCSP stapling for now if it's causing such
regressions.

cu,
