Hi there,
I have a Firefox browser profile where I have deleted all CA certificates. The only certificate in the entire trust store is the one used by the one site I want to use this profile to access (it will not be used for general purpose browsing). I would like to install noscript into this browser profile.
In order to do this, I temporarily imported the certificates for addons.mozilla.org (needed to retrieve https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/down ... ddondetail) and https://services.addons.mozilla.org (which the install process seems to use). It seems to successfully download the .xpi file (over HTTP by the way - is that intentional?), however firefox then tries to validate the XPI signature, and fails because I don't have the right certificate in my trust store.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the signing cert to temporarily import, so that I can get noscript working?
Many thanks,
-simon

Thanks!
Not quite there yet though. I imported that certificate into Firefox, but I'm still getting:
Any further thoughts? I'll keep googling

Code: Select all
Firefox could not install the file at

because: Signing could not be verified.

Re: Exactly which SSL certificates?
Resolved: I needed to edit the certificate such that it was trusted, and select "This certificate can identify software makers".
Many thanks for all your help!
