The enterprise roots preference on Windows and MacOS imports roots that have been added to the OS root store by the user. We tested enabling this pref by default and found significant improvement in user engagement metrics. This bug is a request to enable the following changes by default:
-
In Release, whenever a MitM certificate error is detected, automatically enable the "enterprise roots" pref and retest. If the error is fixed, leave "enterprise roots" enabled.
-
in ESR, enable the "enterprise roots" pref by default.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Changing how Firefox processes certificate errors
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: When an HTTPS error caused by antivirus software is detected, Firefox will attempt to automatically fix it.
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: Blog post is being drafted at this time.
