Firefox 95.0.1 fixes Microsoft.com connection issues and other bugs

Mozilla plans to release a minor update for the stable version of its web browser today. Firefox 95.0.1 is a bugfix release that will fix several issues in the browser, including a problem connecting to multiple Microsoft domains.

The connection problem was posted on Bugzilla, Mozilla’s bug tracking site five days ago. The reporter received an error message, MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_OCSP_RESPONSE_FOR_CERT_MISSING, while trying to open a page on the Docs subdomain of the main Microsoft website.

The page, which lists the AMD processors supported by Windows 11, returned an error message and not the actual content. Firefox displays a secure connection failed error page with the above-mentioned error message.

Multiple users reported issues on other subdomains, including https://msdn.microsoft.com/, https://go.microsoft.com/, and https://support.microsoft.com/.

The problem seems to come and go sporadically, but the planned Firefox update will solve it for all stable web browser users.

Firefox 95.0.1 fixes three additional bugs. The first affects only the Linux version of Firefox. Resolves a crash in WebRender on “some Linux / X11 systems” according to Mozilla. The bugzilla report suggests that crashes have “increased a bit in the last month” and that the crash destroys the entire browser and not just one process.

The following issue fixes a crash on Windows devices, specifically crashes when shut down. The volume of crashes was exceptionally high according to Mozilla, accounting for about a quarter of the 50 major crash signatures reported to Mozilla during that time.

Volume jumped from 500-1000 / day to several thousand a day around Oct 26 or so. We heard there was a Windows update at that time. However, there are crashes on win7 / 8/10 and 11. Only the most common signature for this issue has had 16000 crashes in the last 7 days, and about 1/4 of the top 50 crash signatures are from this issue, including # two.

The end The problem is again limited to Firefox running on Linux devices. Addresses a website contrast issue that some users experienced when dark mode was enabled at the operating system level.

Firefox 95.0.1 will be released later today for all Mozilla supported desktop operating systems. Users can open Menu> Help> About Firefox to run a manual check for updates once the update is officially released to update Firefox as soon as possible.
