1604174 - Page Info Security Tab not showing SSL certificate details for some page types

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1597029

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[scgmissue]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using HTTPS call an image or XML URL through the browser (e.g. https://static-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/static/sumo/img/search-icon.c0851d4acd6d.png). Click on the padlock icon next to the URL. Click the arrow next to the text "Connection Secure" then click the "More Information" button underneath the statement "You are securely connected to this site".

Actual results:

In the pop up window there is no "View Certificate" button. Under "Website Identity" the "Verified By" item states "Not Specified". Under Technical details it states "Connection Not Encrypted" "The website ... does not support encryption for the page you are viewing."

Expected results:

In previous versions of Firefox the pop up window gave a button to view the certificate. Gave details on who verified the certificate and it's expiry date. The Technical Details also stated how it was encrypted (e.g. TLS 1.2).

Not an exploitable issue that needs to stay hidden.

This doesn't reproduce on 68 but reproduces on beta and nightly.

Johann, can you take a look?

Too late for a fix in 72 but we could still take a patch for 73/74.
