First, generate a private key with a *strong* passphrase and keep it to yourself:

$> openssl genrsa -aes256 -out $USER.key

Then, generate a CSR and attach it here

$> openssl req -new -key $USER.key -out $USER.csr

Fill in the forms with accurate information about YOURSELF.

Pay special attention to:

Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
Email Address []:

And ignore these:
A challenge password []:
An optional company name []:

Attachment: Signed Certificate

Here is the signed certificate.

Now you need to join the key and this cert together into a pkcs12 bundle that you can load into Firefox

$> openssl pkcs12 -export -in $USER.pem -inkey $USER.key -name "Dan Mosedale - Mozilla Messaging" -out $USER.p12
