How do I back up a new security certificate?
I live in Spain and had to install a special security certificate to use the government visa process. They "strongly recommend" that I back up the certificate. I have seen no help topics on this. How do I backup the certificate?
Thanks. Steph527

All data is stored in files in the computers Programs Folder, or in the user profiles.
Security certificate settings: The cert8.db file stores all your security certificate settings and any SSL certificates you have imported into Firefox.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backups of files that you choose.

Thank you, thank you!!! Everyone. Steph527
You can export the certificate in the Certificate Manager.
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates: View Certificates
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
