I highly suspect that the difference in behavior between the two versions of the browser is due to the caching nature of Firefox in regards to intermediate certificates. Mozilla Firefox will actually cache the intermediate certificates presented by a server and reuse them for different websites. Thus if you visit a site where the intermediate certificate is presented, your browser will use it for when the server at webmail.hostsuisse.com does not send the certificate.
Interesting idea - any possibility that such cached certificates might be stored as "Software Security Device" ?
I can confirm - after accessing https://www.moster.info/, the "Swisssign Server Silver CA 2008 G2" turned up in Firefox' certificate list as a "Software Security Device". It's a little bit confusing to find it stored like that, I think it would have been nice if it had been named "intermediate cache" or something like that. Anyay, many thanks to everyone who chipped in, it's been educational. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
