Hi all,

During a recent Firefox upgrade, all my digital certificates and keys vanished 
(as well as all saved passwords, but that is a separate problem).

The cert8.db and key3.db files are still there, however I am struggling to find 
a version of certutil that can read them. Using certutil from v3.14.3 (as 
provided by macports) I get the following:

Little-Net:tmp minfrin$ nss-certutil -L -d .
nss-certutil: function failed: The certificate/key database is in an old, 
unsupported format.

Can anyone confirm whether a mechanism exists to a) determine what format we 
have, and b) convert it to a format we can read?

Google reveals the --upgrade-merge option, however this also fails:

Little-Net:tmp minfrin$ nss-certutil --upgrade-merge --source-dir . -d . 
--upgrade-id local
nss-certutil: function failed: The certificate/key database is in an old, 
unsupported format.

Can anyone confirm what one needs to do to extract certs and keys out of 
cert8.db?

Regards,
Graham
