I have requested a Personal Certificate via my web browser (firefox 3.6). Firefox makes a request and a Private Key, the request is sent to Comode (in this case) for signing but the key is saved somewhere on my computer. Where can I find the key and how can I export it to a file ?

Thanks, /thomas

If that key is part of the certificate then export that certificate via the Certificate Manager:
