import of ca-certificate in browser does not work

[Xtien]

I tried to import a CA root certificate into both Firefox and Chrome. In Firefox, the import button just didn't do anything, in Chrome pressing "import" hangs up the browser. This means I can't reach the intranet of the company I work for.

I switched this from ca-certificates to firefox and chromium-browser, since both browsers manage their own certificate lists and don't use the system-provided ca-certificates. (You manage that with different tools, see the first few lines of /etc/ca-certificates.conf for details.)

This sounds like you're missing the corresponding XDG desktop portal implementation.

Try:

    sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

Thank you. For firefox this works, for Chrome it doesn't. But I'll use firefox, so I'm ok now. Thanks.

ow, it does work now. I must have missed something. All fine now.
Keep up the good work :-)

How is this not a bug? A crippled version of firefox is being offered by default without the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package... I too had to install in a fresh ubuntu 22.04 installation my institute's Root Certification Authority Certificate (CERN) and my grid certificate.
