Why can't eBay images uploading with Firefox?
October 14th - images on ebay are not loading with firefox. I have the latest version. Other browsers load the images. It appears there are 100s if not 1000's of other firefox users with the same issue.
Thank you in advance,
Ward

Hi Ward, many reports of this in recent hours. If you click this link to a random eBay product photo:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ZhgAAOSwOfBZ3X-S/s-l1600.jpg
Do you get this error:
An error occurred during a connection to i.ebayimg.com. Invalid OCSP signing certificate in OCSP response. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT
If so, that's why the (up)loading of images is silently failing. It seems to be affecting a number of sites that use the Akamai Content Distribution Network. I don't know how soon it will be cleared up.
As a temporary workaround, you can disable OCSP "stapling." With that change, instead of Firefox expecting sites to provide an OCSP certificate -- a verification that its certificate has not been revoked -- Firefox will query the service provider that signed the certificate. This is good for security but not the best arrangement for privacy, because the service provider knows a computer at your IP address is checking out that site. So after you finish using eBay, you can switch the setting back, or you could use a different browser for the time being.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste ocsp and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling preference to switch the value from true to false
Success?
