"Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"

Apparently Reuters is using a certificate issued by Comodo (COMODO RSA Organization Validation Secure Server CA). Firefox refuses to play.

I'm pretty sure Reuters was working earlier this week. Has Firefox updated its root list?

They might be serving a bad chain of intermediate certificates. That results in confusing errors: If your browser knows the intermediate certificate (because it has seen it on another website), it will work, but if it hasn't seen it yet, you get an error.

New fingerprinting method just dropped?

Works for me on Firefox.

Also works for me on v106.0.3 on Arch Linux.
