i take that back 
NOTE: This is a temporary workaround until Mozilla sorts their shit out 
here is what i did
sudo nano /etc/ca-certificates.conf
and removed the ! in front of mozilla/GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root.crt.
sudo nano /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root.crt
sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh
and it started working again, flag this as a solution if it works for anyone else
