287210 - Cannot determine root certificate for a web site

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[Michal 'hramrach' Suchanek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; NetBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050228 Firefox/1.0 StumbleUpon/1.9992
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; NetBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050228 Firefox/1.0 StumbleUpon/1.9992

It is supposedly possible to tell what is the root certificate by which a site
certificate is signed. I was told there is a UI feature in IE that shows that
certificate to you and allows you to import it.

In firefox I am not able to save the site certificate to examine it manually nor
does Firefox show any such information

Reproducible: Always

In Firefox, there appears to be a mechanism to display the Site Certificate if 
you go to Page Info and select the Security tab.

Are you asking for a 'Server Info' dialogue under the Tools menu alongside
Page Info and DOM Inspector?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
