1401788 - Client certificate dialog pops up unexpectedly when typing into location bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 910207

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Josh Tumath]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20170920100426

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up a client certificate.
2. Have in your browsing history a web page that requires a client certificate to access it
3. Start entering in that web page into your location bar


Actual results:

While entering the web page's URL into the address bar, the client certificate dialog pops up.

It is as if Firefox is trying to preload the web page in the background, but is then realising the web page needs the user to identify themself with the user's certificate in order to successfully preload it.


Expected results:

If the web page requests a client certificate, the dialog should not pop up until after the user has asked to load the web page.

Thanks for filing.  This was fixed in bug 910207 a couple of days after the build in your comment (9/22 vs. 9/20).  Could you please update your Nightly or download a newer Nightly and try to reproduce the problem again?
