[TriLUG] CA Cert Usefulness

[John Mitchell via TriLUG]

On my Devuan system, Firefox 89.0.2 (64-bit) the link takes me to the Cert
website. It does show 'connection not secure" on the URL bar.
johnm at 7010:~$ uname -a
Linux 7010 4.19.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.194-2 (2021-06-21) x86_64
GNU/Linux
Firefox settings?
