I tried to run certutil (after unpacking of course) but then I either get missing .dll errors or if I copy them, the file just closes itself. I would suggest to not extract into system32 folder. You can create a new and separated folder anywhere. To avoid setting environment variables, I would suggest to enter in this folder by an administrative terminal (cmd or ps) and run the certutil.exe from there. > > Then I tried to use the line certutil.exe -W -d in command prompt but it comes back with "unknown arg: -w". At any rate, I am not sure where and when I would do the pathing. The message "unknown arg: -w" suggested you used a lower-case "w". Although Windows is case-insensitive, the certutil could be expecting a upper-case "W". For the -d option, you should inform the absolute path for the firefox profile, like "c:\Users\<username>\appdata\..."
