How do I export a digital certificate from 8.0?

I am updating the help docs for our online app and I am up to 'exporting your digital certificate. I have instructions for 3.5 but I'm now adding some for 8.0 and I can't find an export button. Help! (please)

Did you try to select a certificate and click the Backup button?

See if you can find the certificates on one of the tabs in the Certificate Manager:

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates

Thanks Cor-el. Yep, that's where I went but I need to know how to export a dc that is in Firefox 8.0. IE has an export button and I thought 3.5 had one too but it's gone or is somewhere else. I was expecting an export button along with the other five but it's not there cheers pete

I am also trying to back up a certificate, but I can't find 'Tools > Options> Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates '. I'm using Firefox 8.0.1 on a mac.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Will

On Mac use Firefox > Preferences instead of Firefox/Tools > Options

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates
