Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020506
BuildID:    2002050621

From web.de I have a mail certificate, which I want to import to mozilla.
I tried this in the following manor:
1. Go to Pref/P&S/Certificates
2. Click "Manage Certificates"
3. Import
4. Choose File
5. Enter master&cert-PW

Result:
"The PKCS#12 Operation failed for unknown reasons!"

Well, I don't want to make my certificate publically available; OpenSSL says:

openssl pkcs12 <freemail.p12 
Enter Import Password:
MAC verified OK
Bag Attributes
    localKeyID: <something>
subject=/C=DE/ST=Deutschland/L=86356 Neusaess/CN=Georg Wild/Email=[e-mail]
issuer= /C=DE/L=D-76227 Karlsruhe/O=WEB.DE AG/OU=TrustCenter CA/CN=WEB.DE
TrustCenter Voll-Zertifikate/Email=[e-mail]
...

I can find "WEB.DE TrustCenter Voll-Zertifikate" under Certificate
Manager/Authorities.

Reproducible: Always

Well, do you know what happens; is it possible to write a clearer error message?

This is happening quite frequently with the Thawte Freemail Certs.  I think we
need to address this by RTM.

Reporter, we have other p12 files that we can reproduce this with, so stay tuned.
