getRecentBadCerts has been removed #143

Open daveschaefer opened 10 years ago

daveschaefer commented 10 years ago

In Firefox 33, if you visit a site with a certificate that is expired or not part of the CA system you receive the following error message: "an internal security change error occurred: TypeError: certDB.getRecentBadCerts is not a function".

It appears Mozilla has entirely removed the getRecentBadCerts functionality. Is there another way for us to accomplish this?

In my developer notes I found nsIBadCertListener2 remarked with "I have no idea how to register to this".

The "depends on" field in the bug report links to short guide on the proper way to get the exceptions dialog, etc. working for addon authors which might also help.

This issue is still open!

Agreed :-/ It was auto-closed by github when I clicked to merge the branch. Re-opening.
