Hi

Some security software uses this pref to import their root certificate in Firefox to be able to act as a man-in-the-middle and intercept the connection and prevent getting a SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error.

It is likely that on the other device you do not have this security software.

You can check the about:policies#active page to see whether policies are active (63+).
