626930 - Feature Request: client certificate import

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 868370

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, enhancement, P4)

Description

[Thomas Arend [:tarend]]

Requested by user W. Kreutinger:
He wants to add a client certificate to mobile Firefox. 
"Adding a permanent exception doesn’t gain me access to the secure portion of the site, the appropriate certificate needs to be installed on the browser. On regular Firefox, I can gain access to the secured portion by going to Options>Advanced>View Certificates>Import. Can I import the file to the mobile firefox browser available for Android devices or is this feature not available? Will it become available? It would be of great value to me and probably a few others."

Could we (1) describe a workaround (e.g. copy the cert to a folder on the phone), and (2) build a more user-friendly way to import a cert?

Note: many secure sites of banks and official institutions in Europe use similar certificates.

I would like to request this feature as well. The desktop client makes this easy, and it makes no sense why this has been left out of the mobile app for so long.
