956480 - Self signed certificate not visible in Authorities tab

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[Cristian Baboi]

User Agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.16

Steps to reproduce:

1. create a self signed cerificate with CN and EMAIL tags and RSA2048 SHA256 algo
a) case I
2. import the pfx certificate into the personal section
3. try to import the corresponding cer/crt certificate into the authorities section
or 
b) case II
2. import the corresponding cer/crt certificate into the authorities section
3. import the pfx certificate into the personal section


Actual results:

In the first case the cer/crt certificate cannot be imported, the error being the certificate is already imported.  The certificate does not appear in the authorities tab and permissions cannot be set. The certificate cannot be used.

In the second case the certificate appear in the authorities section after the step 2, the permissions can be set, but dissapears after the step 3 and permissions cannot be changed. The certificate cannot be removed from the authorities section because it is not listed. The certificate can be used.


Expected results:

In both cases the certificate should appear in both the personal and authorities sections.

Still the same.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_an_SMIME_certificate describes a little bit what to do, but it is still not visible.
But if you try to import it again, it says "This certificate is already installed as a certificate authority"
