There are still many end entity certificates that would be impacted if support for SHA-1 based signatures was turned off. Therefore, we are hoping to give CAs time to react, and are planning to turn off support for SHA-1 based signatures in 2017. Note that Mozilla will take this action earlier if needed to keep our users safe. | There are still many end entity certificates that would be impacted if support for SHA-1 based signatures was turned off.
