Hello

We use our own CA to secure some websites on the internal network. Until version 101.0, the SSL was working correctly. I have updated today to firefox 101 and all our internal websites started giving SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN. There are no issues with external CA issued certificates, so I'm assuming it is something related to the way we generate the certificates. Were there any changes done at version 101 which might reject certificates with a valid common name? Is there a way to disable it and revert to version 100 options?

Thank you

See Changed in the Firefox 101 release notes.

Removed "subject common name" fallback support from certificate validation. This fallback mode was previously enabled only for manually installed certificates. The CA Browser Forum Baseline Requirements have required the presence of the "subjectAltName" extension since 2012, and use of the subject common name was deprecated in RFC 2818.
