1246173 - Certificate Manager does not append an export file extension if the top level domain of certificate name is ".com"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 503515

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[magicp]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
Build ID: 20160204030229

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start any versions Firefox
2. Open "about:preferences#advanced" > Certificates
3. Click "View Certificates" button
4. Select "Servers" tab
5. Select a certificate name that the top level domain is ".com" (e.g. The USERTRUST Network > www.google.com)
6. Click "Export..." button


Actual results:

- The export file name lacks file extension. (e.g. www.google.com > www.google.com). And then if you saved it. Windows recognizes it as command file. It is dangerous.
- If file type is switched top level domain will be replaced to ".crt" (e.g. www.google.com > www.google.crt)
- In case of other top level domain, is appended file extension automatically from start. (e.g. addons.mozilla.org > addons.mozilla.org.crt)
- On Mac OS X and Linux, always lack file extension.


Expected results:

The certificate file extension is appended for export file name automatically.
