Redirect Control doesn't support Firefox 57+. Any alternatives? Be careful with https. Doesn't a 3rd party (certificate authority, could as well be Google) gets information about all https you visit? Unless you change the default settings to: Code: user_pref("security.OCSP.enabled", 0);
What about security.OCSP.require ? is the above pref ignored if 'security.OCSP.enabled' is set to 0. ? Is setting the pref you mentioned a trade-off between privacy and security?
Yes, it's a trade-off between privacy and security. IMHO the security aspect is just an excuse for collecting your browsing history. Google is enforcing the move to HTTPS. Do I need to say more? security.OCSP.require is false by default in Firefox 52 ESR. A few more settings for the HTTPS lovers: Code: /* 1203: disable SSL session tracking (FF36+) * SSL Session IDs speed up HTTPS connections (no need to renegotiate) and last for 48hrs. * Since the ID is unique, web servers can (and do) use it for tracking. If set to true, * this disables sending SSL Session IDs and TLS Session Tickets to prevent session tracking * [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077 * [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/967977 ***/ user_pref("security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers", true); // (hidden pref) /* 1204: disable SSL Error Reporting * [1] https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/base/sslerrorreport/preferences.html ***/ user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.automatic", false); user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.enabled", false); user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.url", "");

Perhaps some of you will find this interesting, it's written by a Mozilla developer and will give you more info about certificates: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/certainly-something/
and where is the problem? v62 and v63 contain new features. any esr user and in special 52esr are not the target group. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/07/05/extensions-in-firefox-62/ api improvement https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322748 to note: firefox feature only, chrome uses OS dialogs because it uses OS certs. similar: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/certviewer/dcfpfgpnkmklbdnicbooifodgdekdgie/related added: for NOT v62 and older https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/certificate-viewer-for-humans/ (same author as for chrome)
Well, I think SSLeuth - mentioned above - is more powerful. Unfortunately, a beta which is compatible with FF62 is not yet out.
