Hello, After upgrade FF ESR 68 -> ESR 78 i lost the possibility to connect to HSTS enabled websites (tested on duckduckgo.com and my nextcloud) on work network.

Work network issue intermediate certificate and with FF 78 i am forced to install that zscaler certificate to make website work, I cannot accept that certificate temporarely.

It looks that you have other software installed on your computer that intercepts the connection and act as a man-in-the-middle. Firefox doesn't trust this certificate and you would have to install its root certificate.

You can try to set security.enterprise_roots.enabled = true on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
