Hi,

Whenever I log in to my application, it switches from HTTP to HTTPS. After that I get a certificate error. Only after loading the certificate, I get to see my pages. I want to basically get rid of this, by creating a firefox profile and then store all the required certificates in that profile. In future whenever I open my application using this profile, I should not get this certificate error.

Moreover every time I click on any file, it asks me whether I want to save it or open it. I also want to get rid of this using the profile so that every time it directly opens the file instead of asking me.

Please advice how do I accomplish this.


Have a great day.


Thanks and Regards Dhruba

You get such a certificate error if Firefox can not complete the certificate chain to a build-in root certificate. You either need to install a root certificate or if there are missing intermediate certificates then you need to install those to avoid that error.

You can check out that server via websites that can check certificates.

Hello,

Thanks for looking into my poblem. But my question were 1. How to store the website security certificates into a pesonalized fiefox profile ? To elaborate: How do I create a personalized firefox profile so that whenever I launch firefox using that particular profile , and open my particular website, I donot get any security certificate error. Basically I donot want to download security certificates everytime I open my website.

2. Every time I click on any file in my website, it asks me whether I want to save it or open it. I also want to store this decision (i.e. save the file ) inside my personalized firefox profile.

Thanks and Regards Dhruba

You can make a backup copy of the file cert8.db in the Firefox Profile Folder and copy that file to other profiles if necessary.
