1.) Export a cert from Nav 4.7X.
2.) Open Security Advisor, click on Certificates, and restore.
3.) Open the cert and type in your passwords.
4.) Close and reopen the Security Advisor.
What happens: "No Certificates Found"
Nominating for nsbeta2 and dogfood. This is a regression.

Putting on [nsbeta2+][dogfood-].

junruh, is there a workaround.
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+][dogfood-]
Please try this after deleting your cert, key, and secmod files, or create a new 
profile.  This might be a db corruption.

This is happening even with a new profile. Win32 build 72704. The workaround is 
to copy in your cert7.db and key3.db files from your 4.7x profile. However, this 
brings in all certs, such as web sites, other's email certificates, and 
certificate authorities, which is not really a major problem.
The copy of PSM you're using hasn't changed so it's probably something with 
JavaScript.  Any JavaScript errors after trying to restore?
There are javascript errors when typing javascript:, however I don't see a way 
to copy them into this bug report, or save them to a file. Looks like you'll 
have to try it yourself.

Per todays PR2 open nsbeta2+ triage, moving this from [nsbeta2+] to [nsbeta2-]. 
 junruh, please supply verah with text for a PR2 release note.
Relnote sent to vera - Bug 46664. "WinNT-Cannot restore certs." The windows 
version cannot restore personal certificates through the Security Advisor. 
Certificates can still be obtained from a Certificate Server, or by copying the 
cert7.db and key.db files from a Navigator 4.7 profile to a Mozilla profile.
