Fenix: To be able to see SSL certificate details

[PeopleInside]

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Firefox for mobile doesn't show TLS used (1.2 or 1.3) certificate expiration, and other certificate details visible by Firefox for PC or from other mobile browsers.

This is very bad for security to be unable to see certificate details.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

Because if I visit a website I cannot check SSL certificate details as clicking on the certificate show only who is generating the certificate (ex Let's encrypt) and no other details: expiration TLS used, etc.

Who will benefit from it?

Everyone also in security.

I hate the fact the new stable Firefox for Android have different security issue.
You cannot check certificate info, you cannot decide to see puny code domain as default and you cannot also set this manually because about:config is not working. Download often broken, etc. All issue are listed in the play store.

Is sad to see a company and browser you trust work with all this issue, also security issue on my opinion.
Yes maybe your post was about nighty and not the stable version.
Thanks.

Google Play is not a bug tracker. Please report here all the issues you are having and the dev team will work on them at some point.

I'm not able to install the extension on nightly, seems the workaround is complicated or need an account (so maybe Firefox can track me). I'm asking why I cannot install an extension without an account.

Seems Firefox is blocking installation of additional component that help with improve the Firefox security who is not in the standard function. Still don't like to see how is hard to install an extension for be able to read certificate details on the mobile browser.

I feel not much safer when use Firefox:
no possibility to check certificate, puny code domain confusing and not showed as default so a domain xdfdggfd.org will look as apple.com

Great delusion. The new Firefox for Android looks to be nice but miss fundamental function and now discovering for install an extension need doing an account and other "complex" steps.

You don't need an account. Use my account 12325762 with the fenix collection.

We all want an easy way to install extensions, INCLUDING MOZILLA. Some things are broken so they enabled them only in Nightly. Use a browser that makes you feel secure, it's your choice. Firefox devs are working on what is most important at the moment.

When will be about:config and add on available on the stable Firefox version?

[andreicristianpetcu]

@PeopleInside there are no plans for that. Please use beta. Both beta and about:config are not for the faint-hearted. They are for people who know what they are doing.
