I would be very much in favor of adding this feature. We are getting ready to remove Firefox and restrict its use across our 5000 PCs because it is such a righteous PITA to add our internal CA certificates to Firefox remotely and we don't want to deal with the flood of inevitable user calls "I don't know what to choose, this security certificate stuff scares me." "Why am I getting prompted for internal websites?" "Don't you IT guys know how to do certs?" "Do I have to accept it, or do I install it?" I read the articles for certutil and I have to ask, "what idiot came up with that as the only method???" Seriously, not being able to do it easily through Group Policy or some other centralized method is a GIGANTIC FAIL. If you want enterprises to take you seriously, take us and our needs seriously. Otherwise whatever point Mozilla is trying to make is being lost and you will never be installed again in our shop. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
