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.

Component: Untriaged → Security: PSM
Product: Firefox → Core

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.
