877561 - x.509 select client certificate window uses import-time locale

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[Ikonta]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130520110842

Steps to reproduce:

I need to use several client certificates in www-client/firefox-17.0.6 (amd64 build), suffering issue of inoperability "Remember this choice" checkbox in certificate select window (see bug #503664 and so long, I expect to resume details in comment on bug #396441).

First step. Browser is running in my default locale (ru_RU.UTF8).
Import first client certificate.

Second step. Stop browser, run terminal, change locale to en_US.UTF8 and run firefox in this locale.
Import second client certificate.

Finally goto client certificate required https site.


Actual results:

In opened window of client certificate select I see:

Импортированный сертификат [A1:B1]
(Russian localized string, the browser now is running in English UI)
Imported Certificate [A1:B2]
(for certificate imported in English locale its description string is in English)

Stop firefox and run it standardly (in Russian locale).
Repeat request to the same resource.
And see the same list:
Импортированный сертификат [A1:B1]
Imported Certificate [A1:B2]


Expected results:

I expect the certificate descritpion in this list being locale-depending.

I.e. for en_US.UTF8 to see:
Imported Certificate [A1:B1]
Imported Certificate [A1:B2]

For my default locale to see:
Импортированный сертификат [A1:B1]
Импортированный сертификат [A1:B2]

I've re-checked this bug with recent ESR (38.2.1) and find it still present.

The title of imported in English locale certificate stays "Imported Certificate" after fall back into Russian locale.
The title of certificate, imported in Russian locale was displayed the same way ("Импортированный сертификат") when switched in English locale.
