It seems to me that whitelist currently takes ~45KB codesize. The last update of that file is over a year ago, which indicates that more certificates inside may have expired.

I don't have the list of certificates, so I have no idea how much would it save.

Also I guess we can probably just remove the whole whitelist and disable CNNIC root directly for Fennec. I don't really believe that could have a big impact.

This change will remove about 2/3 of the certificates on the list. Since there doesn't seem to be a huge drive towards disabling the list and root on Firefox for Android, I'll let that be dealt with separately if it's considered necessary.

Summary: Consider update CNNIC whitelist and probably disable that for Fennec → update the CNNIC whitelist to remove certificates that have expired since they were put on the list
