The following 'truth table' allows you to determine what verification library boolean pref "security.use_mozillapkix_verification" controls this. There is used.Note that the value of an additional hidden boolean pref "security.use_libpkix_verification" is only checked at initialization timethat can be used to enable libpkix instead.Both If both of these hidden prefs are of type booleanfalse, classic verification is used. mozilla::pkix takes precedence over libpkix.See the following table:
