Hey, i added FoxyProxy standart as add-on and set up FireFox as an external browser to use it with burp. I followed all the instructions and got stuck on the last one when i need to import Portswigger CA to my authorities inside Privacy & Security in FireFox. ( link: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/proxy-setup/certificate/firefox#removing-burp-s-ca-certificate-from-firefox)

Knowing that I successfully confirmed that the proxy listener is active and have configured my browser to work with Burp. Http websites are only working. Testing them using Burp and intercepting the request works fine.

However, after importing Portswigger CA and checking "This certificate can identify websites" then pressing OK. i visit www.google.com and the error: "Software is Preventing Firefox From Safely Connecting to This Site" shows.

After taking a look at my authorities certificates again, Portswigger CA doesn't show up on the list.
