What version of Selenium and Firefox are you using? Your user agent from comment 0 indicates Google Chrome, and not Firefox. I suspect this is a duplicate of bug 1103196, which was fixed in Firefox 52. Please try using Firefox 52 or later, with the acceptInsecureCerts capability set to true and report back.

You will need to pass the path to the Firefox binary as a capability. To do this in C# see http://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/dotnet/?topic=html/P_OpenQA_Selenium_Firefox_FirefoxOptions_BrowserExecutableLocation.htm

Details of capabilities can be found here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver#webdriver-capabilities and to set these using C# see http://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/dotnet/?topic=html/T_OpenQA_Selenium_Remote_DesiredCapabilities.htm
