That is a bit confusing but harmless. What happens is that Tor Browser checks for add-on updates but we prevent pinging Mozilla servers for Torbutton and Tor Launcher by setting the update url to `data:text/plain,`. The code is complaining then that cert validation fails as it expects an HTTPS URL and thus a certificate. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22158#comment:9> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
