Comment on Securely Expose your Homelab Services with Mutual TLS - YouTube
tinsuke@lemmy.world 1 day agoThat’s no bug, mTLS just isn’t implemented on Firefox currently.
There are 2 proposed solutions on that thread:
- It was possible on old versions of FF, but not the current ones. I believe this to be related to the versions prior to the revamp that happened circa 2020. (the author refers to a version that was already “old” by 2022). So it was something supported on OG Firefox, not not on the new (current, by 5 years already) version.
- Using the debug menu’s secret settings to enable “Use third party CA certificates”. This is available on current FF, but that’s no mutual TLS. It is about allowing CA certificates that you installed yourself on your device for server TLS auth.

How I read it is that they’ve reintroduced it in FF 139 and that you need to enable the third-party certificates to acces the client certificate in the Android cert. store. But the linked bugs in the later replies of my link mention a regression in FF 140+.
I do agree that this is still a horrible UX though.

Oh, you’re right.
It seems to have been implemented and working on 138, but broken since 140 (my current version), with a fix scheduled to come on 142.
I’m looking forward to that one!
