Would Microsoft's updates to a PC's certificates also work for my non- Microsoft browsers? I don't know exactly how certificates work except that there is some hierarchy of trusted certificate providers. As I understand it sometimes there are oversights in checking in which certificate providers got authorized, so updates have to be downloaded by PCs to let the PC know the latest list of trusted certificates. I run XP and Microsoft's updater provides me with updates to security certificates. My question is ....... would Microsoft's updates to a PC's certificates also work for my non-Microsoft browsers? I run Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Do I need to do update their certificates individually or would the Microsoft update also be used by them?
