Lost all my certificates after last release. Some sites can work because I cant select certificate from Keychain. Most, however, do not — they require certificate on browser to allow access.

Preferences — advanced — certificates — import: "ok, success" but, when I close window that says "successfully imported" certificate does not show. Its is not in any tab. Renaming doesnt work.

Have: Mac OSX 10.09.5 /Firefox 39.0 certificate .P12.

Any thoughts, please?

What is the error message that you are receiving when you try to visit the site after importing the cert?

I assume this a different error than you get when a site has an invalid certificate. Is there an error code you could copy and paste from the page, or is it a custom error page from the website?

no error whatsoever. When I try to enter a site that needs a certificate, it just says that I have none. I then go to preferences > (so on, as on post), import — message > success but no certificate there (visible or otherwise). Go back to the page, still no certificate.

tried to change location, renaming it and use different certification. Neither worked
