I'm testing 5.0.1 I'm trying to use the cert8.db file to trust a website on our internal network. I can do this manually through firewox and it works fine. What I need to do is add the cert8.db as a defualt for all users who sign onto the workstation. I did this in 3.6 by copying the cert8.db file to program files\mozilla firefox\defaults\profile. This no longer works. I have alos tried adding it to the omni.jar file in the defaults\profileandthe same thing happens. How do I get a modified cert8.db file copied to all profiles on the workstation on 5.0.1?

Copying files to the default template folder \defaults\profile should still for new profiles. However you need to create the profile folder because that folder no longer exist in the defaults folder. I've tested it with a file cert8.db and that works.
Make sure that the file has the proper permissions, so the user can access it.
