Hi,Since I upgraded to FF 35 (Win7 64bits) personal certificates does not show up in cert management. I then looked at cert8.db file and extracted strings from it. It's about 650kb large and contains strings I use in my personal certificates. I then tried to dig into the file (key3.db cert8.db) using certutil. Whereas key listing is ok, certificates could not be listed (certutil -L -d .). I assume my cert8.db file is corrupted since the upgrade.My question is about how could I recover from this situation and get my cert8.db back to a proper state. I mean, some certificates in this file were not exported to pkcs#12 file thus I cannont connect anymore some websites.

Thanks for any information or help.
