Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, defect)

Description

[Kiran]

Attachment: firefox-nightly-verified-signer-issue.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

Nightly 83.0a1 (2020-10-12) (64-bit)
Viewed the firefox process, using "Process Explorer": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Actual results:

Firefox process holds onto several file handles (its own files, and some os files). Process explorer displays the verified-signer for these handles. Quite a few of them displayed an error in the "verified signer" space.

Expected results:

I did not expect to see an error displayed in the verified-signer field

I'm not sure where this bug should go, but it's not a performance monitoring bug.

I assume "verified signer" is some kind of issue related to how Nightly builds are or are not signed, so maybe Firefox Build System is the place for this.

The "verified signer" bit sounds like something that's relevant for dlls, not for arbitrary other files.
