When viewing a certificate with the certificate manager UI, all we get is a hexadecimal dump. We should enhance Mozilla's code, enabling it to display a human readable display.

Bug 557830 was changed to fix a bug in NSS. Any name constraints-related improvements to the certificate viewer in firefox can be tracked in this bug.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: DUPLICATE → ---
FYI: I submitted two patches to bug 557830 which provide this functionality (the human readable information is already parsed into a structure in the existing code; my patches simply display that structure's fields to the user). I believe the patches are still valid and would fix this bug / supply this feature, although there is some discussion in the other bug about whether maybe all of FF's X.509 support should be rewritten from scratch in javascript instead.

We reimplemented the certificate viewer and won't be continuing to develop the old one.
