Bug#926388: let Firefox trust /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt



Package: debian-edu-config
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

today I have played with Firefox and custom CA certificate import into the browser. This over-all sucks. Firefox does not consider the system-wide CA cert store as trustworthy by default.

However, there is a simple solution to this: the trust cryptography module in p11-kit-modules.

For this, to be doable on Debian Edu sites, we need to add this content:

```
library=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so
name=PKCS#11 Trust Module
NSS=trustOrder=100
```

to debian-edu-config's file etc/skel/.mozilla/firefox/debian-edu.default/pkcs11.txt

With this file in place in fresh mozilla profiles, Firefox will activate the pkcs11 trust module and trust CA certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.

A similar solution must be found for chromium.
