Firefox HTTPS Testing

Testing from: https://github.com/tresf/tray/releases/tag/v2.0.8-RC2

Installer test case

1. Install Firefox
2. Install QZ Tray
3. Restart Firefox

macOS policies.json test

• Test 1 🚫 (baseline, expected to fail)

  I grabbed the BlockAboutConfig code snippet from the policies.json documentation and pasted it to the bottom of the policies.json file. After a restart, this caused Firefox + QZ Tray to break over HTTPS.

  {
    "policies": {
      "Certificates": {
        "ImportEnterpriseRoots": true
      }
    }
  }
  + {
  +   "policies": {
  +     "BlockAboutConfig": true
  +   }
  + }

• Test 2 ✅

  I then properly placed the BlockAboutConfig in the policies.json file and restarted Firefox. QZ Tray + HTTPS worked.

  {
    "policies": {
  +   "BlockAboutConfig": true,
      "Certificates": {
        "ImportEnterpriseRoots": true
      }
    }
  }

• Test 3 ⚠️

  I uninstalled QZ Tray and the policies.json was not touched. policies.json matched the code in test 2. Is this expected?

     Killing any running versions...
     [success]
  
  Removing installed certificates...
     [success] Found certificate matching support@qz.io
  security: SecKeychainItemCopyKeychain: The specified keychain could not be found.

• Test 4 🚫 (invalid json, expected to fail)

  I made the policies.json file the below.

  {
    "policies": {
      "BlockAboutConfig": true,
    }
  }

  When I reinstall QZ Tray, the policies.json file is clobbered; the existing policy is deleted

  {
    "policies": {
      "Certificates": {
        "ImportEnterpriseRoots": true
      }
    }
  }

• Test 5 ✅

  I made the policies.json file the below.

  {
    "policies": {
      "BlockAboutConfig": true
    }
  }

  When I reinstall QZ Tray, the policies.json file is properly updated.

  {
    "policies": {
      "BlockAboutConfig": true, 
      "Certificates": {
        "ImportEnterpriseRoots": true
      }
    }
  }
