I'm supposed to have some certificates installed in the "my certificates" section of Firefox, but there are none there. if I could figure out where there are stored (somewhere inside my profile directory maybe?) then I could try and restore from a backup.
Despite the effort involved, Mozilla is committed to maintaining our own root store because doing so is vital to the security of our products and the web in general. It gives us the ability to set policies, determine which CAs meet them, and to take action when a CA fails to do so.
Open the Start menu and click inside the “Search Programs and Files” box. Type “certmgr. msc” (without quotes) in the box and press “Enter” to open the Certificate Manager. In the left pane, click “Certificates - Current User.”
This would be a better question for http://superuser.com, but look in your Firefox profile directory. Certificates are stored in the cert8.db
file. Their corresponding keys are stored in key3.db
.
If you need additional assistance finding your Firefox profile directory, detailed instructions are available at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile.
