How to install a certificate with NSS certutil in Firefox?

I use the NSS certutil tool from Mozilla to install a certificate in Firefox:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/tools/NSS_Tools_certutil

The commands are listed in the link. Someone used with certificate and commands should be able to understand my problem.

From the parameters I use, the following (I indicate the reason for, because I may be wrong):

-A : so if the cert8.db doesn't exist, it creates one.

-n : for this one I don't understand. From my understanding this should be the same as -i? So I set the same thing

-i : certificate name + location

-t : truast arguments

-d : path + name of certificate database

So my code is the following:

set cert8dbPath=%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%randomalphanum%.default\cert8.db set certName="FiddlerRoot.cer"

certutil.exe -A -n "%certName%" -i "%certName%" -t "TCu,TCu,TCu" -d "%cert8dbPath%"

I got this error, any idea?

certutil.exe: function failed: Failure to load dynamic librarty error 126

Do basic command switches work like showing the help message (certutil -H)?

I have the definition there (I entered what I understood, maybe I'm wrong?)
