Placeholder 1858531 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1858531)

Starting with [[Find what version of Firefox you are using|version]] 120, Firefox can now automatically trust third-party root certificates installed in your operating system's certificate store. This article explains what this means for you as a Firefox user, how it works, and how you can manage this feature according to your preferences. =What are third-party root certificates?= Root certificates are the backbone of the security system that underpins HTTPS web traffic. Firefox, like most web browsers, includes a pre-installed set of trusted root certificates. However, sometimes, users or organizations might need to trust additional certificates not included in this default set. These are known as third-party root certificates. =Why is this feature important?= *'''Seamless browsing experience:''' With this update, Firefox will use third-party root certificates added to your operating system, allowing you to seamlessly access more websites without extra configuration. *'''Convenience for users and organizations:''' Particularly beneficial for enterprise environments or specialized web services that use their own certificates. =How it works= When you navigate to a website, Firefox checks if the site's certificate is trusted. Firefox will now also look for any third-party root certificates you or your organization have installed in the operating system's certificate store. If a website uses such a certificate, Firefox will trust it automatically, provided the certificate is present in the OS store. =Security implications= *'''Trusted administrators:''' These third-party certificates are typically installed by you or your organization's trusted administrators, ensuring they are safe to use. *'''No compromise on security:''' The feature doesn't lower Firefox's security standards; it merely extends trust to additional certificates deemed secure by you or your organization. =Manage the feature= This feature is enabled by default. However, if you wish to turn it off, you can easily do so by following these steps: *Click the Menu button on the right corner of your screen and select {menu Settings}. *On the left hand side, select {menu Privacy & Security} and scroll down until you see the ''Certificates'' section. *Uncheck the ''Allow Firefox to automatically trust third-party root certificates you install'' option. *;[[Image:Automatically trust third-party root certificates]]
