User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Some of my personal certificates are missing when I'm using Mozilla 1.2.1. The
same profile, when used under Mozilla 1.1, still show all the certificates. This
cause mozilla to fail signing e-mails I'm sending.

Attached are the certificate list, from the certificate manager under both versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open profile in Mozilla 1.1 - all certificates are there (look in certificate
manager).
2.Open same profile in Mozilla 1.2.1 - only some of the certificates are there.
3.

Actual Results:  
cannot sign email when using 1.2.1, since the relevant certificate is missing.

Expected Results:  
all certificate should be there.

I've checked one more thing:
I've backuped all my certificate, while runing Moz 1.1. Then created a NEW
profile in 1.2.1 and imported the backuped certificates. Now all the
certificates are there, and I can sign/encrypt mails.

This suggest that there is some in-compatibility between the DB files of the 2
versions (I think).

I've seen simmilar problems with the cert/key.db incompatibility between
versions of Mozilla. Sometimes it even makes the application crash when using
the certificates. The only remedy was to remove the .db files and reimport the
certs from backup.
