A certificate (.pfx) that is correctly imported appears in the list ofcertificates. When the application require from the user to confirm the use of this certificate, the Window is empty (no entry in the list) so that the user can’t confirmt the use of the certificate. For that reason the application can’t be used.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.import a certificate (.pfx) from the filesystem
2. start JAVA-Application
3. Firefox request "client-authentification" (the List in the Windows is empty)

Actual Results:  
list of certificate ist empty

Expected Results:  
the certificate is visible and can be selected

the file jss3.dll and jss341.jar are copied in the firefox-directory

I confirm this happens on versions 2.x and 1.x.  Also, if you have multiple certs that originally show in the list, the one that you updated is not available, but the others still are.  The new cert IS listed in the cert store.  Major BUG.  

To test:
Create a user cert that will expire soon
Open any version browser (set cert chooser to manual)
Import a cert
Let the cert expire
Get a new cert from the same CA
Import the new cert
Go back to your site (cert won't be a choice in list) 

Confirmation:
Site is still functional
Cert works via IE
Cert shows in Firefox cert store
