Description

Attachment: CertificatePinningErrorFirefox.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.97 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Version: 48.0a1

1. Open: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
2. Click on the lock icon in the URL bar to open the certificate information bubble. Notice that it shows the correct certificate information (for Mozilla Foundation).
3. Switch the tab to another HTTPS website. For instance, https://www.bogleheads.org/
4. Click on the lock icon in the URL bar again.
5. Notice that the bubble still shows the certificate information from the previous URL i.e. Mozilla Foundation, in this case.


Actual results:

On step 5, the certificate information is shown for Mozilla Foundation.


Expected results:

On step 5, the certificate information should be for https://www.bogleheads.org/

When I click on the "More Information" button, it shows the correct certificate information.

I'm having trouble reproducing this. Do you have any add-ons installed that may be interfering? (try disabling them temporarily and see if this still happens)

NoScript perhaps? This sounds suspiciously like Bug 1246349 (Bug 1246349 comment 4 in particular).

Indeed. It does seem like the same bug because the behavior doesn't repro when I disable NoScript.
