do the following with old and new cert viewer

  • open the authorities tab of the certificate manage
  • view an intermediate authority cert (Software Security Device)

The old cert viewer dialog showed the full chain in the details tab, the new about:certificate does not show the chain.

Blocks: cert-viewer
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Priority: -- → P3

The old certificate viewer uses asyncDetermineUsages which seems to return a "chain" parameter.

We need to use that code in some way to get the chain in ViewCertHelper and build a list of query parameters for all certs in the chain (about:certificate?cert=...&cert=...&cert=...)

hello, working on this!

Thanks!
