Hello, I try to use an authentication certificate stored on a smartcard with Modzilla Firefox. Firefox does not show the certificate in its certifitcate store. When I try to import the certificate, I get the answer that I do not have the corresponding private key. What must I do to make Firefox know my certificate?
