Firefox Beta 120 trusts OS certificates by default

33 pointsby gbilover 1 year ago
Seems that Firefox Beta 120 is changing the default behavior for certificate trust from its own repo to the OS repo. This is stated in the release notes:https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;120.0beta&#x2F;releasenotes&#x2F;<p>and here is the relevant bugzilla link: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugzilla.mozilla.org&#x2F;show_bug.cgi?id=1858531<p>so anyone relying in the existing Firefox behavior needs to opt-out of this new behavior

This isn&#x27;t the right summary. Firefox uses it own root store still and ignores any certificates distributed by default in the OS. However, if the user installs their root to the OS, Firefox will also pick it up. This is how other browsers work.
