309480 - The certificate manager will not import a certificate with a blank (null, non-existant) password on the file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 265991

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Derek Meek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.0.6-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 () Firefox/1.0.6

I exported my coworkers certificate from Internet Explorer and set no password
on it - I then went into their firefox and Preferences->Advanced->Certificates
and opened the Certificate Manager - I went to import their certificate - it
prompted for their master password (which they had enabled) and they succesfully
logged through that screen - it then asked for the password which the key was
encrypted with.  I did not set one when exporting so I left the field blank and
hit "ok" - it told me the password was wrong. (well.. trying to use a password
period was wrong)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export Certificate from IE without a password
2. Attempt to import it into firefox

Actual Results:  
Import fails - blocking at the password screen asking for the non-existant password

Expected Results:  
Blank password means "the file is not passworded", or simply scan the file and
recognize passwordless files.
