When a user, on a MacOS Catalina, sets the security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true in Firefox, the certificates are not read from MacOS keychain store.

The method used to set the parameter to true:

Use Firefox on MacOS Catalina, type 'about:config' in the address bar. If prompted, accept any warnings. Right-click to create a new boolean value, and enter 'security.enterprise_roots.enabled' as the Name Set the value to 'true'

What is your recommendation to bypass this problem without manually importing the certificates in the FF certificates authorities ? The goal is to read the certificates from the system store. This parameter works perfectly on MacOS Mojave & Windows.

We've tested this and have not encountered this problem.

Could you open a bug in bugzilla and we can work with the certificate team to diagnose the problem?
