title: Does Firefox for Android use the devices certificate store?
body: <p>The only evidence I have found is:-</p>
  
  <p>The user kbrosnan in this thread <a href="http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/808899" rel="noreferrer">http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/808899</a> mentions that Firefox uses its own CA list.</p>
  
  <p>On this site <a href="http://www.jethrocarr.com/2012/01/04/custom-ca-certificates-and-android/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.jethrocarr.com/2012/01/04/custom-ca-certificates-and-android/</a> Jethro carr mentions that "Websites are a bit different, since at least some of the browsers <em>glares at firefox mobile</em> rely on their own internal certificate databases, and not the Android OS DB".</p>
  
  <p>I cannot find any concrete evidence anywhere that suggests Firefox is using the devices certificate store (Settings > Security > Trusted Credentials).</p>
  
  <p>The reason I am asking this is because I have a CA-Root certificate that I have installed on the device and Firefox does not trust when I make a connection, which to me looks as if it is not looking at the devices certificate store and that Firefox has its own list of trusted CA's.</p>
  
  <p>Please note that installing this certificate on the Desktop version of Firefox works perfectly without any issues.</p>
  
  <p>I am using:</p>
  
  <p>Firefox version: 18.0 / Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 / Android version: 4.1.2</p>
  
  <p>Many Thanks.</p>
