Cannot import my certificate in firefox

I import my certificate in firefox from Preferences->Advanced->Certificates->View certificates->Import, it seems to work and I get the message "Your personal certificate has been installed. You should keep a backup copy of this certificate". However, afterwards my certificate is not in the list of certificates. How can I import it? Using firefox 34.0.5 on mac OSX 10.9.5.

HI irala, If the certificate does not shot up it is possible to use NSS modules:

Hi guigs2, Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately the first module does not compile (got an error when running make: "In file included from quickder.c:11: ./secasn1.h:15:10: fatal error: 'plarena.h' file not found"). The links to the second module are broken. I have to say my problem is only in firefox for mac, while I am able to import my certificate in firefox in Ubuntu.

Sorry, let's take a step back. Is your certificate listed in another section? "Your Certificates, People, Servers, Authorities, and Other"

That success message is suspicious.

It isn't listed in any of these sections, Your Certificates, People, Servers, Authorities, or Others.

What format are you trying to import this p12 or pfx? This may also be beyond my expertise, you can also ask: https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security and at stackoverflow.com

It is p12. Thank you, I'll ask there too.
