This page http://dodpki.c3pki.chamb.disa.mil/rootca.html has a link to 2 binary
files that contain multiple root CA certificates. The latest version of firefox
only imports one certificate from each file. I used to import all certificates
previously. This problem exists in thunderbird .73 and Netscape 7.2 as well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.get certs one at a time from another source 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
it imported the certs I needed correctly.

Expected Results:  
firefox should be able to import multiple certificates at one time from a single
file.

I see this also when generating a personal certificate from a KEYGEN element. 
The reply contains the cert plus an intermediate CA certificate, both in a
single PKCS #7.  Only the personal certificate is loaded.  This is with Firefox 1.0

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
