Could be possible to change the option to be, by default, not checked?

I don't want the browser to remember... I perfer to do manually and more when I have more than 1 certificate.

A ver, en español, que así nos entendemos mejor, ya que sueles ser el más activo por aquí.

Desga, ¿usas el certificado digital de la FNMT? (el equivalente al DNI-e, pero sin necesidad de lector) o, da igual, ¿el DNI-e?

Bueno, si tú accedes a cualquier página que requiera un certificado (he dicho el DNI-e y el de la FNMT, porque son los nuestros, los españoles, y así nos entendemos mejor) te saldrá la ventana pidiendo el certificado (por ejemplo, la DGT), bien, pues cuando sale la ventana de petición de certificado, está marcada la opción de recordar SIEMPRE el mismo certificado (lo he puesto marcado en rojo) y es muy molesto que esté así, porque si tienes más de un certificado, como es mi caso, tienes que andar desmarcándola todas las veces.

Es como el caso de la ventana de petición de cookies, cuando lo tienes para preguntar, que siempre tienes que desmarcar el que recuerde la opción, porque siempre que inicias el navegador, vuelve a aparecer marcada. Pero al menos la de cookies, cada vez que te pregunta, no tienes que andar desmarcándola. Con el de certificados, cada vez que sale la ventana.

Que ya puestos, si se puede corregir la de las cookies, aunque esto, creo recordar, no se podía, pues... mejor winking smiley

Captura de la ventana, para que se entienda:

And the fix (in some way, is sad to dig a lot for these things):

user_pref("security.remember_cert_checkbox_default_setting", false);

If JamesD is reading this, and consider this as default option for users (disable the checkbox to remember certificate by default), just include the above in your "defaults\profile\prefs.js" file for the releases you are making smiling smiley

I will add this to the root\defaults\pref\kmeleon.js file. It will be the last lines at the end of the file.

// Certificates
pref("security.remember_cert_checkbox_default_setting", false);

That does not exist in any other file as 'true', does it?

What exists by default, where I found the pref, is inside embed.jar, in the file clientauthask.js.

If it resets on first run to true (the value set via that file) or Kmeleon.js, is beyond me. You have more knowledge on that smiling smiley

I think kmeleon.js would be enough (I didn't dig that file until now, hehe)

@ JohnHell

Make the change that I posted and then start KM. See which way the checkbox is the first time you go there.

It applies correctly and sets as default to false, and it isn't considered as user toggled pref smiling smiley (you know, bold pref)

And that is the result that you wanted, right?

Yes smiling smiley

EDIT: long story winking smiley as I use 2 certificates for the same sites, it was annoying to uncheck the option of remember the certificates each time.
