Certificate Manager Authorities

more options

Was reviewing my Settings. Looked under Privacy & Security, Browser Privacy, Certificates, View Certificates. The Certificate Manager has many listed under “Authorities.” Some look suspicious. How do I determine which are valid and which should be deleted?

The ones with Builtin Object Token come with Firefox or are installed by Firefox in a background update. I don't think these can be removed completely, but you can set them to untrusted.

The ones with Software Security Device were cached during browsing as Firefox verified them. You should be able to remove these if you want to.
