Child mode is a feature of Windows that allows a parent (administrator) to set up a child account in order to monitor internet activity. It does so by using an SSL certificate that allows the operating system to spy or “MiTM” the child’s connections. | |||
While this helps the parent keep track of the child’s activity, it presents a fundamental problem for the way Firefox works. Unlike other browsers, Firefox does not use the system’s SSL certificates to verify connections, but instead, relies on its own certificate store. Since this Microsoft certificate is not present here, Firefox will see these connections as untrusted, and the user of the child account will not be able to view secure sites. | |||
The solution is to import this Microsoft certificate only when Firefox detects that it is running in child mode. | |||
The testing efforts will be invested on the following areas: | |||
* Setup environment - create child account, import Microsoft certificate for Firefox, update Firefox configs | |||
* Verify Firefox works with parental controls for the account (child or administrator) enabled/disabled | |||
* Verify parental controls works as on other browsers(IE/Edge) if enabled for the account(web filtering settings, logging of child actions on administator account ) | |||
