Own a personal certificate that lists an OCSP responder.
Enable OCSP.
Go to a web page that uses crypto.signText()
Attempt to sign using your cert.

Actual behaviour:
You get an error message, "internal failure, unable to complete OCSP operation".
The signing operation can not be completed

Expected behaviour:
No error message should be shown and signing should work.

This bug is similar to 337517, the cause is that the OCSP request is started
synchronously from the main thread, which is not supported.

A solution for the trunk is available in bug 353597.
I do not have a low risk solution for the stable 1.8 branch at this time.

This bug still exists in the latest stable version of thunderbird. The single solution I have is to clear certificate for encription.
reassign bug owner.
