1499894 - Not able to install certificates for firefox on Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 16

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, defect)

Description

[liquidoshin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0

Steps to reproduce:

I followed these steps listed on this link https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:AddRootToFirefox under the header Autoconfig via javascript.  I put the .js file in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref folder and the mozilla.cfg file inside /usr/lib/firefox (same locations as debian 9 which works with no issues by the way) and when I close the firefox browser and reopen a new one and navigate to my company's internal https site it gives me a connection not secure error.  I can however go to the preferences menu in firefox and point firefox to the certificate and it works fine.  However, I need to be able to do this via the command line for automation purposes for a large scale of users.


Actual results:

Unable to reach our internal site without having to add an exception.


Expected results:

Firefox should have recognized our certificate and navigated to our internal page with no security warning.

There's a new way to install certificates on large deployments, through Enterprise Policies.

Please take a look at this documentation here: https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#certificates

If it doesn't work for you, please report back.
