Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0
Steps to reproduce:
For automated QA (such as through Geckodriver/Selenium) it is common to create a pool of browsers and run tests in parallel. These are generally a fresh install, so that there is a known start point.
For each of these instances, after a few seconds firefox will start to download the intermediate certificate database.
Actual results:
Database downloaded.
Expected results:
I can block the download via some form of external proxy filtering or firewalling, but a specific configuration option to disable the downloads altogether would really help.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Security: PSM' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Setting security.remote_settings.intermediates.enabled
to false
in about:config
(or whatever mechanism you have for setting preferences) should stop Firefox from downloading them.
