What is the expected behavior?

No response

What do you see instead?

The root certificates have not been updated in the last year. The docs state that they should be updated after an NSS release. There have been several NSS releases within the last months. Specifically, there are new DigiCert G5 root certificates that are trusted by Firefox since Firefox 103.

Would you like to send a PR to fix that?

For trust reasons it'd be better if a long-time contributor does that.

I mean, you can and you're welcome to, but the reviewer has to run all the same steps to ensure they're really the right certificates.

If no one steps up I'll do it but I have to say @richardlau did a great job last time (hint, hint.)

Fixed by #45490.
