"Firefox blocks the access to site, I think most of other browsers do not."
www.paypal.com returns a valid certificate. Chromium based browsers redirect to there. Firefox doesn't redirect there unless you first visit www.paypal.com. Once you have visited www.paypal.com in Firefox, paypal.com gets redirected there.
This is not my area of technical expertise so why things get redirected one way versus the other I don't know, this is just the behavior I have observed.
- LocalH 4y agoI also noticed that even though Firefox would start redirecting to www, I could then delete the www and force it to try to go to https://paypal.com https://paypal.com anyway, at which time I would receive the revocation error. Edit: Figured it out more reproducibly. https://paypal.com https://paypal.com gives the revocation error. https://paypal.com/ https://paypal.com/ redirects to www, although clicking on these links acts the same and tries to use the revoked cert
