Thanks for the report, but the information you provided isn't enough to be actionable. It would be great if you could provide the certificate which is broken as well as (ideally) the full URL of about:certificate.

(The name of the cert would probably be enough, if it's built-in)

Hi, I've seen some bugs about certificates so far, and also cannot see certificates using about:certificate

Could this be related? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1603202.

Regards,

I have a similar issue.

Since Version 71 my client certificates are not used anymore. (Version 70.0.1 works! Current Chrome [79.0.3945.79] works also.)
When I try to view information I see the something went wrong screen.

So I am not able anymore to access my server using client side authentication using the new Firefox.

Attachment: Clientside test certificate which you can not view or use in Firefox 71.

This certificate shows the problem in Firefox 71.
The password to import this certificate is 'licTest'.
