How can I make Firefox trust a Server Certificate by Default?
I'm trying to distribute Firefox via Empirum. All settings are made using the CCK-Wizard Addon. When I import our Certificates in CCK-Wizard, I can make trust-settings for CA's, but not for Server Certificates, and so the SC isn't trusted by default.
Is there any way to make the trust Settings for SC's in the install package, maybe through an option in about:config (didn't find any, but maybe somebody knows more than google :P )?
I tried to do it like PRF_1 suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/687296#answer-112220 but in the last step I got an Error 1: C compiler cannot create executables.
Regards, Bowser

Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.
This is just a thought, as I do not know the official method:
Does your tool allow you to include a modified cert8.db file? If so, you might be able to import the certificate on your build machine and and package it up that way.
@Meghraj: Since I deploy Firefox via Empirum, I just removed all addons from the Package, but after installation, the Server Certificate was still untrusted :(
@jscher2000: Sadly, this also doesn't work. I installed Firefox on a Text-Machine, changed the settings of the SC to Trust, saved the cert8.db of this Firefox into core\browser\defaults\profile, and after I install Firefox, it's copied into every profile, but it doesn't trust the SC. If I copy it into a profile manually, it trusts the SC
