Hi, thought I'd chime in here as just ran into the same issue on debian bullseye. Obtained an oh-so-precious "mycert.p12" file and resolved thus:

Step 1:

a) In Firefox ESR: Settings -> Privacy and Security -> View Certificates button (way down at the bottom).
b) "Certificate manager" popup window, "Your Certificates", Import button
c) Select mycert.p12 file and it appears in Firefox.

Step 2:

a) In LibreOffice Write: Tools -> Options -> Security, click "Certificate" button under "Certificate Path"

This is where it got interesting - there were two selections there:

x firefox:default
o firefox:default-esr

the top one, "firefox-default" was selected and was not working. Clicking "firefox:default-esr" instead, restart LibreOffice Write... fixed.

Another important note: After changing the certificate path, it prompts "LibreOffice Write needs to restart in order to take effect. Do this now?" ...which I answered yes, but it did not actually restart. Initially thinking it didn't work. But upon manual restart, it *did* work.

Maybe this approach is better since it takes Seahorse out of the loop.

Would also be curious to know if Jammy is fixed and/or above works? I'm going to upgrade one of the three debian bullseye systems I did this on successfully, to debian bookworm right now. If anything breaks, I'll be sure to post that here.

Hope this helps someone out there.
