Firefox has it's own CA store because it's built for all 3 major (desktop) platforms. OSX and Windows have their own but Linux does not and uses Mozilla's.
- mynameisvlad 10y agoDoes Chrome provide its own CA store on Linux? It's also built for all 3 major desktop platforms but uses the OSX and Windows stores.
- gsnedders 10y agoThey just use a copy of Mozilla's one on Linux. Of course, distro packages of Chromium if they use the system NSS library may well use some system CA store.
- mook 10y agoMore importantly, Firefox has its own CA store because it was derived from Netscape, which had its own because they came up with the whole SSL thing way back. The subsystem is still called NSS, even though there's been backbend changes (pkix).
