I have self-signed an own ssl root/CA certificate. I would like to install it into firefox on android. I've tried opening the .pem with Firefox but it just shows the certificate as string.

Hi

Certificates are not handled by apps, but by the underlying Android operating system.

To install a certificate, open the Android Settings app (typically a cogwheel icon) and select Security followed by Encryption.

If you have the certificate stored on the device, you will be able to installstall it from there.

If you have any problems with this, please contact a dedicated Android support forum.
