1576960 - about:certificate shows incorrect certificate when switching tabs

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Security, defect, P1)

Description

[April King [:April]]

Steps to replicate:

1. Open up mozilla.org
2. Lock Icon -> Arrow -> More Information (Page Info window pops up)
3. Open up a new (or existing) tab for getpocket.com
4. Back in the window popup for mozilla.org, click View Certificate

What happens:

about:certificate is loaded for getpocket.com

What should happen:

The Page Info window is bound to mozilla.org, and should show the certificate for mozilla.org, not the active tab.

Attachment: Bug 1576960 - In pageInfo, set security information in init() instead of fetching it from the selected browser.

This is to avoid displaying incorrect information when the user switches their selected tab but keeps the page info window open.

The fix is now verified on Latest Nightly 71.0a1 (2019-09-05).

about:certificate is nightly only at the moment so this doesn't affect 70
