Well, your "wag" lead me to this page: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/certutil.html (Using the Certificate Database Tool fi you're not willing to go check that out) Maybe creating a new certificate and key database and replacing the original one... I just don't seem to have certutil installed.

Seems like a good idea... I'll look into that, but for a profile in
which I only visit 10 or 12 domains... seems a little bit overkill.
Having an empty ca database and then populate it by hand ("hand", not
"and", sorry) seems to be simpler to me.

Problem there is - assuming that a site is (for example) compromised by
a LEA and they are issued a certificate by a legitimate CA do you want
to either
a) hope you didn't give that CA blanket auth because one of your other
sites use it
b) use a tool that prompts *once* for *every* site you visit, then lets
you know if the cert has changed, and if so, shows you before and
after so you can decide if the change was reasonable.

You are right. That was what I was thinking about when I said that it _seemed_ like a good idea. Also, I meant to say populate the database with each cetificate, not with each CA. anyway, to have a specialized tool to do the work that had to be done in case of a changing certificate (comparing it with the one I had before) is a far better option. Thanks. Now lets just hope for the security of the addon itself... 34000+ downlods, 20 reviews... I have to juge it by these numbers since I am no coder myself... gess it's OK. :-)

Certificate Authorities in Firefox
Hi All, I'm using Firefox, NoScript on a Win7 laptop. I just got finished listening to the SN episode re SSL browser Certificate Authorities. Scary. I did some googling about whether or not its OK to deactivate CA's from Firefox. Anyone have any good info on this? If I deactivate (not delete) many of the Firefox CA's, will that cause problems? Or can most of them be deactivated with no problem? Is there a list somewhere showing which ones can be deactivated and which ones should be kept? Any info much appreciated.

For a short time now (likely since upgrading to FF 1.5.02) I've noticed that when running a Firefox session, ZA will popup a notice that Firefox -- verified the same exe as the running one -- is "trying to access the internet."

However, the destination IP is always along the lines of 206.141.192.60:DNS, which translates to dns1.chcgil.sbcglobal.net, part of my ISP. So I've been saying yes.

Firefox security certificate exceptions
I sometimes get the invalid certificate message from FF for visiting sites that I wouldn't expect it from. This often happens when I use the laptop from behind a (pretty tight) corporate firewall. A proxy is used to access the internet in that case. For example, www.google.ca would generate that message. I sometimes accept them because I figure they are due to the use of a proxy (though I'm entirely sure). Then I get second thoughts, because I'm not always behind the corporate firewall using a proxy, perhaps I really shouldn't have such an exception. So I go on th...
