Hi,
My experience so far is that PSM Certificate Manager is never launched
when PKCS#12 link is clicked. Not on Windows. Not on Linux (as described
by the bug filer). Do not remember for Mac OS X.
Here is what I think is the explanation for the behavior on windows:
On Windows PKCS#12 file type is associated with MS Crypto certificate
manager. So when someone clicks on the PKCS#12 file link, Windows crypto
manager is launched for importing the keys/certificates.
Since IE and Chrome (do not know about Safari and Opera) uses the same
Windows Crypto DB/Manager, the imported keys/certificates in PKCS#12 is
always visible to both browsers. FF does not uses Windows CertDB - FF
uses it's own CertDB. As a result, imported key/cert is not visible in
PSM certificate manager.

Hello everyone,
Bug 542441 claims that Gecko/Firefox is not importing PKCS#12 client certs.

I am also being told by the bug filer that IE, Opera, Chrome and Safari
have no problems importing PKCS#12 certs.
Could those of you who have more experience with PKCS#12 certs take a
look at this bug and provide feedback? I'm a bit surprised that Firefox
doesn't support PKCS#12.
Thank you,
Gen
