Question

for parallel test execution, I need multiple Firefox profiles. Every instance of Firefox needs to import a custom Root CA. So I thought i just create a profile, import the CA and then copy the profile, which works fine.

But does somebody know what the minimal required files are? I dont want to copy the bookmarks or anything like that, the Root CA is the only critical thing. Files in the profile:

bookmarkbackups
safebrowsing
startupCache
webapps
.parentlock
cert8.db
compatibility.ini
content-prefs.sqlite
cookies.sqlite
downloads.sqlite
extensions.ini
extensions.sqlite
formhistory.sqlite
key3.db
localstore.rdf
mimeTypes.rdf
permissions.sqlite
places.sqlite
pluginreg.dat
prefs.js
search.json
secmod.db
signons.sqlite
webappsstore.sqlite 

Files needed for imported Root CA:

?

If anybody just knows this, it would save a lot of time. Else I will just trial and error a solution :)

Solution

From Mozilla Support, via a Google search for "firefox profile certificate database":

Security certificate settings: The cert8.db file stores all your security certificate settings and any SSL certificates you have imported into Firefox.
