[SOLVED!]Firefox 78.3.0esr

Postby lloyd » Sep 30th, '20, 20:56

I just upgraded to the latest Firefox...78.3.0esr. Unfortunately, I think it broke something. I can't go to either Twitter or Facebook
without getting a "potential security risk" error. It's complaing about invalid certificates. It also says that Twitter/Facebook use something called HSTS strict security protocol, and that I need a secure connection. This never happened before. What is going on and how can I fix it?

Thank you.

Did it also update the rootcerts* and crypto-policies packages in the process?

This is what you should have installed:

Code: Select all
[doktor5000@Mageia7]─[22:52:10]─[~] rpm -qa "rootcerts*" crypto-policies
crypto-policies-20200813-1.mga7
rootcerts-20200911.00-1.mga7
rootcerts-java-20200911.00-1.mga7


Cannot reproduce your issue here, twitter works fine and firefox shows "connection secure" when checking the certificate/connection details.
Visiting facebook also works fine, although can't test login there because I don't have a facebook account.

That appears to have fixed it. Thank you! I'm wondering why that wasn't updated when Firefox 78.0.3 was installed?
I also have Mageia 8 beta 1 installed in a VM and it worked, so perhaps I accidentally deleted it.

Maybe you're using a mirror that was in an inconsistent state or during a sync, when you ran the update ?
