Can't Access any website after deleting trusts

firefox1050
firefox1050
more options

I had an issue with a self hosted website's self signed cert and the code it gave, it recommended I go to

Preferences > Privacy & Security > View Certificates > Authorities

and delete the offending trust. I couldn't find which trust it was I needed to delete, so I just deleted them all, assuming it would reverify valid ones later on, and the broken one would be fixed.

Now I can't access any website. Not even google.

How can I just reset all my SSL settings without resetting firefox entirely?

Do you mean you deleted all of the "built-in" authority certificates?

I think you should follow the steps under "Corrupted certificate store" in this article: What do the security warning codes mean? (last section).

Does that help?
