Given that the Firefox profile folder contains a non-predictable string for the profile, is there any way to script a file copy for the cert8.db file? I noticed that even though I delete this file, it is re-created when I open Firefox. Is there a default location that it get’s copied from? What I am trying to do is import 2 certificates for Forcepoint. Currently I can manually import and copy the file but I have to do this for several hundred users.
