Fennec CAcert.org include

Hi, is it possible to post my wish to an feature request list?

It would be very nice to add the certificates from the CAcert.org project to the fennec build.

Regards,

Dirk

Why did Mozilla not include it?

You can’t just load it up for your device?

Hi,
it has been included in Mozilla years ago. The time before Let’s Ecrypt growed up. I do not know about the background, but I think it is about the project is to small for the giant Mozilla.

And yes, it is possible to load it up manually. The problem is, that it is only running by changing the funnic about:config parameter “security.enterprise_roots.enable”. And Firefox for Android stopped this feature. And in funnic the changes are gone after restart the app.
So the best way would be to include the certificates direct to the browser.

TIA
Dirk

You can still allow it via the secret settings:

you can optionally enable them at your own extreme risk: Settings > About Fennec > Tap Fennec logo until debug settings are enabled > back a menu > Secret Settings > Use third party CA certificates > Enabled, this is however a security and privacy risk.
