I develop Java Applets. I sign them with a "phony" self-signed certificate. At some time In the past, I asked Firefox to automatically grant permission every time I run one of my signed Applets. I would like to revoke that permission so I can debug what happens when I run my Applets without the needed permission. How do I revoke it? I can't find my code-signing certificate listed in Firefox anywhere. I could not find it in IE either.

Try to clear the Java cache.

That did not work, but it led me to the solution. In the Java Control Panel, Security Certificates was my code-signing cert. I removed it, and Firefox started asking me to grant permission again. Thanks very much!
