Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
With latest updates I'm not able anymore to add an exception for HTTPS if
iceweasel is not knowing the issuer of an certificate.This is very disturbing
as e.g. Debian has also removed CAcert from list of certs so even I have the
fingerprint of the cert of a server, I cannot add them as "ok" without doing
some workaround via about:config.
I'm only getting
<domain> uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
without any further option than 'Get me out of here!'

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
Andreas
