OK. I spotted my notes from back then. There were some expletives
there I won't repeat here.

What helped in my case was (Firefox):

  rm SecurityPreloadState.txt SiteSecurityServiceState.txt

in whatever Mozilla profile you use (they are top-level in the
profile directory), i.e. typically ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default
with some funny value for xxxxx.

I'm a bit short on time to check whether this just repeats one of
the solutions given in your links.

Good luck
