I love that FF has its own root store. I've often wondered why Chrome doesn't have its own, which seems like it would be a Googly thing to do. But I'm glad that they don't and hope they don't implement one any time soon.

It seems as though it's just a difference in design. Chrome uses the system's default store, which for systems that are constantly updated is not a problem. But for systems that aren't regularly updated and can't get addition & revocations to their store then FF takes the lead here.

  example : a friends ancient Huawei android phone can no longer access his online banking via the system browser, or chrome. Firefox works great. Whether or not you should be online banking with an outdated platform is another discussion, but he's happy that it works.
