    @Compu KTed: I see http://clients1.google.com/ocsp listed as the OCSP server for YouTube's certificate. Are your NoScript rules forcing HTTPS for that?

    I think I solved the (HTTPS) youtube connection problem.
    Had to allow clients1.google.com through the firewall and change my browser connection
    settings. I'll have to fine-tune that for youtube though. Didn't have to touch browser OCSP
    certificate validation settings. Both settings are checked. Also didn't have to add youtube or
    anything else to "NoScripts" force (HTTPS) connections setting.

    Thanks MrBrian and TheWindBringeth for your input.

    You're welcome :).

    You may still wish to use NoScript forcing because it will transform any YouTube HTTP link into HTTPS, if that's what you want.

    YW. Forcing should help protect against server changes and/or HSTS preload list changes. Verify secondary connections for mixed content leaks/vulns.

    Would appear to be true and worthy of bump:

    SEC_ERROR_OCSP_SERVER_ERROR is grossly ambiguous

    Good idea . I also have my browser homepage set to an SSL search engine along with always establishing a secure connection between browser and it's servers.
