101415 - the certificate selection button does not stick

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect, P2)

Description

[James Rome]

The button for selecting which certificate to use (automatic or ask every time)
in build 2001091303 does not stick on my Dell 8100. So it automatically selects
the wrong certificate and I cannot manage my certificate server! It does work on
my laptop, however.

I downloaded tonight's build 2001092403 and still cannot set the certificate button.
It clicks, but both radio buttons are always unselected when I return to the
setting menu

I found out what causes this. Entrust (which should not do anything with Mozilla
or Netscaoe 6) changed the pref.js file for the certificate security items. the
lines
user_pref("security.default_mail_cert", "Ask Every Time");
user_pref("security.default_personal_cert", "Ask Every Time");

Had "My EntrustCertificate" instead of "Ask Every Time" (which I restored manually).

However, this should not break the GUI....

certificates....

Worksforme. The original bug, to select a cert to use automatically or Ask every 
time, is fixed.
I have opened bug 118586 due to mailto:[e-mail]'s comments.
