(SSL) Does Firefox use the Android CA storage or its own?

Hi, I have installed a CA-Cert onto the android device through: Settings > Security > Credential Storage > Install from device storage.

The CA-Cert is visible and installed successfully.

When I try to make an SSL connection via https:// I get:

"This Connection is Untrusted" Technical Details: The certificate is not trusted because the issuer is not trusted.

When I remove the CA-Cert I get the exact same problem, this suggests to me that Firefox is using its own list of CA's.

Could you please verify the above (any proof would be great!)

Many Thanks,

Mitch.

Firefox uses its own CA list NSS. Just like desktop Firefox.

Installing a non-standard root certificate is possible on Firefox 21 and later. This is available at http://nightly.mozilla.org
