Same probleme here.

running Ubuntu Hardy 64

I'll try to do a step by step instructions as requiered:

opened firefox3, went to edit menu, clicked on advanced tab, encryption tab, and view certificates.

Certificate manager window opened.
clicked on import
File name to restore window opened
browse to pkcs12 file
clicked on open--> error box: "alert: Failed to restore the PKCS #12 file for unknown reasons."
the certificate doesn't show up in the certificate list

Instead it should ask for the certificate password, then import the certificate if the password typed was correct.
if the password was incorrect it shows the error box: "alert: Failed to restore the PKCS #12 file for unknown reasons."
and nothing is done, (verified on Firefox 3 under XP and Vista)

Under Ubuntu Hardy, we are not even asked the certificate password, it's like this step is missing and of course the importation is rejected.

It is indeed a serious bug.
