Dear Mozilla Support,
I would like to ask about Firefox's plans regarding the recent changes affecting SSL/TLS certificates for websites hosted in Russia.
As you may know, several international Certificate Authorities have announced that they will revoke or stop issuing trusted certificates for Russian domains. This may cause many legitimate websites to become inaccessible in browsers because their certificates are no longer trusted by the default root store.
I understand that Mozilla places a strong emphasis on web security and maintaining a trusted certificate ecosystem. However, I would like to know whether Mozilla has considered any technical solution or mitigation for users who may need to access these websites.
For example:
- Is Mozilla planning to provide any workaround or optional feature that would allow users to continue accessing such websites safely?
- Will Firefox receive any updates or patches related to this situation?
- Is the current recommendation simply to manually install additional trusted root certificates, or is there another supported approach?
I am interested in understanding whether there are any official plans or recommendations for users affected by these certificate changes.
Thank you for your time and for your work on Firefox.
Kind regards,
Mikhail M.
