I have removed the DigiNotar Certificates but they continue to re-appear when I close then re-open Firefox.

It is widely known that the Certs from "diginotar" are to be distrusted. I have tried to Delete and Distrust them from my laptop and Desktop but they continue to re-appear when I restart the browser. Is this acceptable? or is there something more that I should be doing or that can be done?

You can click the Edit button on the DigiNotar certificates to verify that all trust bits are unchecked.
That will make it impossible for them to be used as root certificates.

Select a DigiNotar certificate in the Certificate Manager.

  • Click the Edit button to verify that all trust bits are unchecked
  • Click the View button and go to Details to verify that the certificate has been deactivated (Explicitly Distrust DigiNotar Root CA)
