Firefox ending key generation support

With the release of Firefox 69, Firefox will finally drop support for Keygen. Firefox uses Keygen to facilitate generating key material for submitting the public key when generating Code Signing, Client, and SMIME certificates in their browser.

Note: Chrome already dropped support for key generation, and Edge and Opera never supported it.

How does this affect you?

After DigiCert issues your Code Signing, Client, or SMIME certificates, we send you an email with a link to create and install your certificate.

Once Firefox 69 is released, you can only use two browsers to generate these certificates: Internet Explorer and Safari. If company policy requires the use of Firefox, you can use Firefox ESR or a portable copy of Firefox.

For more information, see Keygen support to be dropped with Firefox 69.

Tips and tricks

  • You can still use Firefox 69 for client authentication. First, generate the SMIME certificate in IE 11 or Safari. Then, import the SMIME certificate to Firefox.
  • To bypass generating Code Signing, Client, or SMIME certificates in your browser, generate and submit a CSR with your order. Instead of a link, DigiCert will send you an email with your certificate attached.
new

We added a new status, Emailed to Recipient, to the Orders and Order Details pages, for Code Signing and Client certificate orders, making it easier to identify where these orders are in the issuance process.

This new status indicates the DigiCert has validated the order, and the certificate is waiting for the user/email recipient to generate it in one of the supported browsers: IE 11, Safari, Firefox 68, and portable Firefox.

(In the sidebar menu, click Certificates > Orders. Then, on the Orders page, click the order number for the Code Signing or Client certificate order.)

enhancement

We updated our Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing (CS) and Document Signing (DS) certificate reissue processes, enabling you to reissue these certificates without automatically revoking the current certificate (original or previously reissued certificate).

Note: If you don't need the current certificate (original or previously reissued certificate), you'll need to contact support so they can revoke it for you.

Now, the next time you reissue an EV CS or DS certificate, you can keep the previously issued certificate active to its current validity period (or for as long as you need it).
