I have a use case where, I need to move the certificates stored in Firefox to another machine.
On my Windows XP source machine, I have 2 certificates (say cert-a, cert-b) which are stored as part of the Firefox 4.0 browser (I assume certificates are stored in cert8.db
).
On my Windows 7 destination machine, I have 2 new certificates (say cert-c and cert-d) which are stored in Firefox 12.0.
I need to move cert-a and cert-b to the destination machine. Which means, I need to move the cert8.db file from Windows XP to Windows 7 so that I get the certificates. By doing so, I will lose cert-c and cert-d which was on my destination machine before migration.
What are the steps required to move the certs from the old machine to the new machine while retaining any certs that are already present on the new machine?
