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!
