I have several certificates that are unauthorized and I delete them but they are right back again so they have a perminant allocation somewhere? how do I manage my certs when I can't delete these? Please direct me on how to access and change the status of all certs.

Thank you so much for your help on this. David

Have you unauthorised them, or are you getting an error message?

there are quite a few certificate providers 'built in' to most browsers, firefox being no exception, from recognised certificate providers.

in 'privacy and security' menu, instead of having 'choose a certificate automatically' ticked, choose 'ask me everytime' and also tick 'check 'query OSCP esponders' for validity.

If your just geting errors, check your computer is set to the correct date and time, if the date and time are out, the certificates can be invalid for your computer.

Note that there are some permanent exceptions listed under the Server tab in the Certificate Manager if that is what you are referring to. You should leave these alone because they are there for a reason and those certificates are likely fake placeholder certificates that can't be used anyway. There is usually no need to disable builtin root certificates that are listed on the Authorities tab
