p12 certificate. Successfully imported in chromium and explorer 9. When imported in firefox 27.0.1, it does nothing. Nothing at all. No error messages. No certificate imported. To import the certificate, it is necessary to select "all files" from the open dialog. Otherwise, the p12 certificates are not shown. Chromium and explorer show that file as a p12 certificate when opening. OS: Ubuntu 13.10 Thanks in advance, José.

So there are a few bugs with errors, but I do not know what your error message is. If you would like to use a tool for debugging certificates, but the security channel recommended simple DER/PEM-encoded certificates instead.

These instructions are how to import them in Ubuntu
