Default Certificate Selection in Firefox
Question(s)
How do I set Firefox to use a default personal certificate rather than ask me every time I visit a secure site?
Solution
Windows:
- Go to Tools > Options > Advanced.
- Click the Encryption tab.(in Firefox v. 23.x Certificates tab.)
- In the Certificates section, select the option Select one automatically.
- Click OK to save the changes.
Mac:
- Go to Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
- Click the Encryption tab. (in Firefox v. 23.x Certificates tab.)
- In the Certificates section, select the option Select one automatically.
- Close to save the changes.
Additionally, this can be modified via about:config. Change security.default_personal_cert from "Ask Every Time" to "Select Automatically".
