Basic Infomation

Firefox Version: 72.0.1

Operating System: Windows 10

Step to reproduce

  1. create a self-signed CA certificate and server certificate for localhost;
  2. create a server which serve https service with certificate and key above;
  3. request localhost, Firefox would warn that connection is not secure, which is ok;
  4. install CA certificate to Firefox certificates store and restart Firefox;
  5. request localhost again, and Firefox trusts server's certificate, ok;
  6. delete the self-signed root CA certificate we installed just now;
  7. restart Firefox, and request localhost, Firefox still treats connection as a secure connection.

Expectation

Firefox do not trust localhost server's certificate any more.

What I see instead

Firefox still trust a server certificate signed by a CA whose certificate is deleted from Firefox's trust authorities.


Is this a cache policy which works as expectation? I wonder if there is anything I did wrong, or do I have some misunderstanding about Firefox's certificate policy.# Numbered list item
