Bug Description
After upgrading to Hardy I cannot import client (user) certificates any more. The error message is:
The PKCS #12 operation failed for unknown reasons.
This happens with Firefox 3, but also (after downgrading Firefox) with version 2. I don't think that this is a firefox problem.
Using client certificates which were imported before the upgrade is no problem.
Importing CA-certificates is also no problem. It applies only to user certificates (those who contain the private key).
My workaround was to import the certificates on an older system (not Hardy) and then copying the ".mozilla" directory from there to my home directory on the Hardy system. Of cause this is annoying.

I confirm
with Firefox 3 I cannot pay my taxes anymore !
When I browse for importing a new certificate, the file.p12 is not even listed as a certificate. I can make it appear my requiring "show all files", but clicking on it does nothing.
I would set the level of this bug as critical.
