Can I deploy a certificate automatically in a new install of Firefox?

I've looked at numerous posts regarding importing certificates into Firefox...none of which seem to take into consideration the initial deployment.
(Just as an example: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/859507?as=aaq)
I'd like to be able to include 2 certificates by default in every installation. We can modify all sorts of user settings, from Proxy, to how often it checks for updates...but there's no way to have certificates included by default in an installation? That seems like a glaring oversight. Please someone tell me i'm missing something here.
This is not to mention that Firefox stores all this information post-installation into a randomly named directory which has necessitated doing all the configurations pre-installation. It's incredibly frustrating to manage.
So...the bottom line is:
Is there a way to include certificates automatically in an installation, or does it have to be done profile-specific post-installation using that certutil thing?

You can initialize a profile by creating a defaults\profile folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and place files in it.
You can place a cert8.db file that has the certificates installed in that folder to have them copied to newly created profiles.
See also this about how to add certificates to the build-in root certificates.

Can't log in to wifi on my new install

I connect to a hidden WiFi network, and I was able to do this successfully on the Arch live USB with netctl, by creating a netctl profile and uncommenting the line about a hidden network. Yet in my new install, I can't connect to WiFi. Trying `netctl start myprofile` gives: "Job for [email protected] failed." and refers me to `journalctl -xn`. When I type that command, I see the error "Failed to bring the network up for profile `myprofile`. What could be going wrong, and how can I fix it?
I made sure to install the `iw` and `wpa_supplicant` packages while chrooted into my new install.

Do you have wpa_supplicant installed? You should carefully compare the installed packages list between on you live version and local version. Then find the missing package and boot from live-usb version and using chroot to install it.

I am getting a new hard drive so can I copy my bookmarks to a file onto an external hardrive to save and copy the files back to the new install of Firefox?

My current hard drive must be replaced. It is about to die. I want
to save my bookmarks. Is this possible?

You can back up your whole Firefox profile.

[SOLVED] I can't get X to run correctly after new install

Hi all,
Over the last few days I have been trying to get Arch Linux installed on an old computer that I have. The only major hurdle that I have had so far has been getting wireless to work (no wired connection available here). I got that sorted out yesterday though with a bit of research
I haven't been so lucky getting X to run though. Following the Beginners' Guide, I have gotten up to the part where I have to configure and test X. This is what I have done so far:
Basically I have tried to use Xorg -configure to auto-create an Xorg.conf, which seemed to work (as in, the file got created and looked okay).
I then set up hotplugging with HAL, setting up everything as it says in the Beginner's guide.
When I ran the Xorg test with X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I got a black screen with no mouse or anything.
I rechecked xorg.conf to make sure the driver was correct (it's set to "radeon" which seems to be right). I also checked the horizontal and vertical refresh are set correctly - which they were (autodetected correctly by Xorg -configure).
I then had a look through the Xorg page on the wiki, but nothing much there seemed to help.
I then decided to not use hotplugging with HAL, so I removed it from starting at startup and set up my xorg.conf to have the autoadddevices as false.
After that, I am having the exact same problem when I run the Xorg test (X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
I really have no clues as to what to do now, does anyone have any tips for an Arch Linux n00b?
My graphics are provided onboard by an ATI RS480 (Radeon Xpress 200G Series). I am using the "radeon" driver, provided by the xf86-video-ati package. My screen is an LG FLATRON L246WH.
My relevant config files are:
xorg.conf xorg.conf
~/xinitrc doesn't exist for me.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old isn't able to be uploaded by wgetpaste for some reason... Using the verbose switch indicates that it's saving to /dev/null. I'll keep trying to work out how to get this file uploaded somewhere... it's quite long - 881 lines.

Did you miss the step to copy the skeleton .xinitrc to your home directory? Please do this. Then try starting X as a normal user, not root.
You can also try starting the Xserver without any xorg.conf file as jdiez has done. That works for many people.
To lessen your copy and paste problems, and to help you sort out the logfile, try the following two commands as a normal user in your home directory:
grep "(EE)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xorg_faults
grep "(WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log >> xorg_faults
This will locate the log lines displaying errors (EE) and then warnings (WW) and write them to the file ~/xorg_faults. Errors will be listed first. This file should be much smaller than the original Xorg.0.log.
For hot-plugging and HAL, make sure you have dbus installed.
pacman -Q dbus
If it's not there, you should install it with pacman. HAL is supposed to start dbus, but I'm a belt and suspenders person, so I list dbus then hal in my /etc/rc.conf daemons.
The wiki also has an article on Xorg that may be of help to you.

I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
can anybody help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How can I delete a toolbar that a recent program installed in FireFox?

I just downloaded and installed "Quick Media Converter" from Cocoon Software and found that it had installed an "Ask" toolbar (and tried to switch my search to that) in FireFox. While I can un-check this and not have it display, I can't find any option to get rid of it altogether. Usually I catch these things before they happen, but I don't believe that this particular install ever asked permission to mess with my system. I really would like to be able to get rid of this!

Yo pude dar solución al problema de la siguiente manera:
* Cerrar Firefox.
*Borrar (desde Panel de Control ---> Agregar o quitar programas) el programa "Ask".
* Eliminar desde Firefox los Agregados (queda el 3.6.6.99999 en "Cancelar" y no se borra).
* Reiniciar el equipo.
* Eliminar manualmente extensions.cache, extensions.ini y extensions.rdf,
* Cuando abrí Firefox no estaba más el 3.6.....
Espero haber sido útil.

Software Update can't connect to the internet after a new install of 10.6

I had a clean install of 10.6 and after that the Software Update can't connect to the internet (the status bar hangs at the beginning and finally it prompts me the internet is not connected) while all my other applications can.
Someone help me out?

I am having exactly the same problem as well.. has anybody managed to solve this yet? I have uploaded Snow Leopard - try to connect to Software Update - the menu bar scans a little then stops and then an error saying 'Not connected to the internet'' but the connection is working fine!!
Is this a SL issue? or just an overload with the Software Update programme? I cant do anything - no update for itunes/iphone software, etc.. most annoying.
Look forward to seeing some good news and some answers to this one.
Cheers
Linda

How can I read PDF bank statements with the new version of Firefox?

After downloading the new Firefox, I can no longer see the PDF statements from my bank. What do I need to do to correct this?

You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

Once it is installed, open Addons Manager and re-enable Webroot addon.

Can I use Webroot Internet Security with the new version of Firefox?

I am being advised to download the new version. However, I remember seeing something about it not being compatible with Webroot. Is that true?

I can't tell whether or not I have successfully installed mozilla firefox. When I click on the firefox icon, it does not come on.

''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/905899''
I thought I had followed all the directions to install mozilla firefox and I have the icon on my desktop but whenever I click it, I am not able to use it.

Click firefox drop down, then click options, select tool bar.

I can not access my banks website with the new version of Firefox 3.6.15. Any ideas????

My bank website has been bookmarked for years and now I receive an error page when attempting to access the site.

Works on my Win 7 Pro 64 bit system, running FF 3.6.15
I do not recommend bookmarking any financial web sites. Manually type the address carefully is the best security practice. Never store passwords on your system unless they are encrypted with a strong password. Or you are telling the "bad guys" way too much if your system becomes compromised.
FF settings: Tools, Options, Privacy Tab, Exception Button, add
http://www.frederickcountybank.com
web address and click Allow Button, ALSO check for any BLOCK settings. Click
close button, ok button and Test the results.
Check your security software settings, you may be blocking at that level, firewall and FF add-ons.

Can't stream movies off Netflix. Silverlight IS installed but Firefox isn't recognizing it. ieplorer and google chrome will stream.

Fireflox (Minefield version) won't stream movies in Netflix. It tells me to install Silverlight. Silverlight it installed. Not recognized. Keeps telling me to install. Other search engines will stream off Netflix. I want to stream off Firefox, it's my default.

You using an unsupported version of Minefield x64,
Try using a Release version of Firefox, which is a 32-bit application. Mozilla doesn't have any 64-bit Release versions of Firefox for the Windows platform. <br />

V6.01, Windows 7, click on icon, "firefox is already running but not responding" Task manager doesn't know about it. I can't quit it or get it to load. Brand new install. What to do?

Brand new Lenovo computer, Windows 7 Home. New install of Firefox 6.0.1, set as default browser, don't launch when I click done. Icon appears in tray. I click the icon, and a message says "firefox is running but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing process, or reboot". It's not obviously running. I can't find a way to make it quit. Task manager doesn't list it as a current application. Uninstall using the control panel uninstall function and then reinstalling gives the same message. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem and gives the same message. Firefox had been working until I tried to update my bookmarks.

No can do. I can delete the current profile and install Firefox, which should create a new blank profile. The message still says "Firefox is already running." I can place my old profile in the proper folder, and Firefox will still be already running. I can't actually use Firefox, because even though the message says it is running, there is nothing on the screen I can access.
After uninstalling Firefox, deleting the two items left in the Programs folder, and deleting the profile again, it still didn't work. I then got frisky and from the Roaming folder I deleted the Mozilla folder which contains the Firefox folder which contains the now empty Profiles folder. That worked, and a new set of folders with a new blank profile were created. So apparently it was the empty folders that never got deleted that were causing the issue.
Thanks for your suggestion. It got me thinking.

Can I deploy a certificate automatically in a new install of Firefox?
