(Whiteboard: [psm-backlog][psm-clientauth])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit a website that requires a client certificate but don't have one installed on the machine/in firefox
  2. Get an expected error
  3. Import a personal identification certificate & key in firefox settings
  4. Reload the website

Actual results:

Despite now having a certificate that could be used, Firefox didn't prompt to use it.

After closing and restarting Firefox it did prompt to use the certificate.

Expected results:

It should have prompted after I had imported the certificate without needing to restart the browser

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.

You're probably re-using a TLS session and thus not being prompted to select the client auth certificate. Try clearing the cache and site settings after importing the certificate? Ideally Firefox would do this automatically.
