Anti-phising and ssl/tls filtering not working in Firefox Developer Edition

[ECELeader 2]

Eset anti-phising and SSL filtering are not working in Firefox Developer Edition. They work fine in Chrome and regular Firefox, but not in the Developer edition.

 

Using ESET SSP 12.2.29.0. Even tried pre-release channel to see if there is a fix.

It's better to avoid SSL filtering. I keep it turned off. Anyway, wait for a reply from someone who knows about this issue.

I have no problem here:

If you check information about the certificate used on this forum, do you see ESET there?

 

As for SSL filtering, it is important to keep it enabled since more and more malware is downloaded via https and the number of malicious websites utilizing SSL is growing as well. Also the fact that browsers are starting to report http connections as unsecure, bad guys have a good motivation to move to https as well.

By coincidence last week I attended a presentation by an ethical hacker who attempted to attack a machine utilizing Meterpreter. He failed once thanks to SSL filtering employed by ESET. When he managed to bypass it, the payload was detected and blocked upon injection by Advanced Memory Scanner.

No I don't see ESET verification in the certificate when using Firefox Developer Edition:

 

In the regular Firefox and Chrome it works just fine.

Eset detects the other AMTSO tests (eicar, cloudcar etc). The only test failing is the anti-phising one.

Interesting story! I know the importance of SSL filtering so I always keep it on.

Via Options -> Security Settings, open the Certificate store and verify if Eset's certificate is present under the Authorities store.

Thank you all for your help! The issue was solved after reinstalling all Firefox editions in my PC completely (removing the %AppData% folder as well) and reinstalling Firefox Developer Edition.
