I use for my own a self signed certificate. Each time I go to my https page I get a security warning. I try to add an exception in preferences of firefox and I ask to keep it permanently. But if I try to restart firefox, all exception are lost and firefox give me a security warning again. I just tryed to update firefox to 91.0.1 esr from testing but the problem is still present
You did not say which version of firefox gave you the problem; I have inserted the latest issued one 'firefox-78.13', which may not be your case. Please say whether this problem has appeared after a recent update (from what to what); whether it did not happen with earlier versions; or whether you have had it always with Mageia 8. That sort of thing: is it a problem long present, or one that has just appeared?

sorry for the lack of precision. This problem appears during mageia 7 with the first version of firefox 78 if I can remember well. And I had this problem from the beginning of mageia 8. I read somewhere that the problem was due to firefox 78 esr. So I decided to wait for the next version. But when I saw that the 91 esr still have problem, I decide to ask some help.
Thank you for the clarification. Assigning initially to DavidW: you are probably the best person to comment on the problem, which looks an upstream thing that we cannot do anything about.

Yes, Marc will need to report this upstream. A workaround would be to run your own CA.

I do this, and it is working for me, using firefox-78.13.0-1.mga8. When I first access the https server running on my local network, Firefox displays the security warning. Clicking on "Advanced" and then "Accept the risks and continue" causes my self-signed certificate to be automatically and permanently added as both an Authority and a Server in the Firefox Certificate Manager - I don't need to add them manually. Maybe it is something different about the way you generate your self-signed certificate. I use the following script. Change FQDN to the fully qualified domain name of your server - all the other answers can be anything you like. #!/bin/sh umask 077 answers() { echo Country echo County echo Town echo Organisation echo Unit echo FQDN echo root@FQDN } PEM1=`/bin/mktemp /tmp/openssl.XXXXXX` PEM2=`/bin/mktemp /tmp/openssl.XXXXXX` trap "rm -f $PEM1 $PEM2" SIGINT answers | /usr/bin/openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout $PEM1 -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -out $PEM2 2> /dev/null cat $PEM1 > selfsigned-priv.pem cat $PEM2 > selfsigned-cert.pem rm -f $PEM1 $PEM2

Any chance firefox has previously been run as root after using just su to become root? https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Never_use_just_su

I have done some tests. With a windows and firefox 91.0.2 it work With Ubuntu and firefox 85.0.1 (before update) and 91.0.2 (after update) It work. (I have test a quick installation of ubuntu in virtualbox to check) I ask myself if my configuration folder of firefox is not too old. It come from mageia 5 or 6 and the problem is appear with a new version of firefox. So I remove /home/user/.mozilla/ and let firefox create a new one. I add mozilla account to recover bookmarks, configuration, passwords ... And try again, but the problem is still here. I don't know if report this upstream is useful if I can't reproduce the problem on others distribution. Many time ago, I had talk about that on the French mailing list of mageia and at least one other user had the problem. Someone here had the problem too ? @Dave Hodgins : sincerely, I don't thinks so. But how check to be sure ? Is remove /home/user/.mozilla/ enough ?
@Martin : another tour de force! > I do this, and it is working for me, using firefox-78.13.0-1.mga8 @Marc : please note comment 5 carefully, and try it.
