Starting today, NI.com doesn't want to work with Firefox?

Any reason?  Worked fine up until today.

Having the same problem; "Secure Connection Failed" is the error I'm receiving

That's the one.  And IE sorta sucks, I just don't like using it.

This seems to be the result of an error that our certificate issuer experienced.  Their OCSP server is outdated and not responding to queries properly.  They estimate 6 to 12 hours for the server to be fixed.

Meanwhile, there is a work-around:
- Go to your Firefox options
- Advanced tab
- Uncheck "Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates"

The change does not require a browser restart; nordinvasion.com should work when you refresh the page.

For a little background, the OCSP server tracks which certificates have been revoked (marked as untrusted).
Most browsers will only flag a certificate as untrusted if the OCSP server specifically states it.
Firefox is strict about this list and will flag certificates as invalid if the OCSP server does not respond.
If you use the work-around listed above, I would recommend enabling it again in a day or so after the problem has been fixed.

Thanks Kip.
