In response to a severe virus infestation (and fearing I now had dangerous CA certificates in my FF), I deleted ALL the certificates. Now that all is well on my machine, I'd like to update my Firefox with all the safe certificates.

My CA certificate "authorities" is now empty because of my paranoia a few weeks ago. Rather than reinstate some previous save file of this info, is there a way to download the latest and greatest from Mozilla?

Rename or delete secmod.db (secmod.db.old) and possibly cert8.db (cert8.db.old) in the Profile Folder

Rename or delete the file cert_override.txt (cert_override.txt.old) in the Firefox Profile Folder to remove all permanent exceptions that you have saved.
