Export a user certificate from Firefox
To export an existing user certificate from Firefox:
- Go to the top right of Firefox and click on the icon representing 3 small horizontal lines
- Open Preferences / Confidentiality and security. Go down to the bottom of the page and click on View certificates.
- In the Your Certificates select the certificate to export.
- Click on the Save
- The software will ask you to specify the name of the file to create. This file will be in PKCS12 format (extension .p12)
- A dialog box may then appear asking you for the general password ("Master Password") from your Firefox security database. If you have one, specify it!
- You will then have to indicate the PKCS12 file cypherment password. Enter it twice. Without this password you won't be able to re-import the certificate and its private key.
- Validate. Your file is created!
