I suggest adding:

1.security.pki.mitm_detected

change by default

2.security.pki.sha1_enforcement_level = 1
proof: www.shattered.io

(I don't know security, but...)

that page is from 2017
this too, https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2017/ ... ublic-web/

What is gained by the prefs you suggest?
How might a user be affected by making such changes?
How do they compare to current PM &/or FF... settings?


(The ancient browser I'm on has, security.pki.sha1_enforcement_level;3.)

Un(?)fortunately without a proper explanation (a link is not enough) I doubt the developers will listen to you.

Agreed. Without explanation and context, it makes little sense to want to change anything, since it would be sort of
missing the context and appear as a "random change", even IF there was an explanation. It also makes me wonder
a little because if you have time to suggest a change requiring specific words/APIs, surely you could have added
a short explanation? Even if only for others who read it to understand what is going on.
