Also, make sure you run make-ca.sh after (re)installing NSS.

Hi all

After upgrading nss to version 3.28 (the version in blfs svn), I
noticed
that firefox will reject a lot of web pages due to insufficient
security. The most prominent example is youtube.com

Maybe this could be stated on the nss page, or perhaps a revert to
3.27.2 should be done. It's what I have done.



Kind regards
Tim

Same with 3.28.1 and also applies to www.google.co.uk.  And of
course I can't google it to see how common the problem is.

Reverted to 3.27.2 after writing that, reran make-ca.sh, killed
firefox, used the recover option.  Both are still broken.  Same for
duckduckgo.com.  closed it and killed all the open tabs - no change.

I found this:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1320509

but the patch is in my version of nss-3.28.

And I found this:

The comment is:

nss-3.28 [This breaks firefox for ECDSA tls connection]

nss-3.26 also breaks seamonky: can't bring up youtube. But rebuilding nss-3.27.2 lets if connect to youtube correctly. I made no other changes except the nss install commands.

A diff of the nss 3.27.2 and 3.28 tarballs gave me a 12 MB (328000+ lines) file. It's too late for me to look at that tonight.

I suspect we need to wait for upstream to fix this.
