FF doesn't read enterprise ca certificate from /etc/ssl/certs. How to change this?

Enterprise own root and intermediate ca certificates are stored within /etc/ssl/certs. Hash links are done. However to make FF accept the server certificate, - avoid message "connection not secure", - the issuer certificate must be installed into FF certification store. This is boring, as it must be done foer every user individally! How to tell FF to get the CA-Certificates from linux standard directory /etc/ssl/certs?

The short answer is, you don't. But you can create a script, which adds the certificate into the user's Firefox profile, using nss-tools, specifically certutil.
