25.0a2 (2013-09-04) I got an OSCP error on an SSL website tonight, and the error looked like this: -----8<----- Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to mrgeckosmedia.net. The OCSP server has no status for the certificate. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unknown_cert) The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site. -----8<----- The last sentence there is confusing because there are no obvious items in the Help menu to report a broken website.
The closes things I can see are "Report Web Forgery" and "Submit Feedback" but which to choose that would be appropriate for reporting that error is pretty ambiguous.

There used to be a "Report broken web site" menu item, but it got removed in bug 572695.
The relevant string isn't OCSP specific, so changing the summary to reflect that.
