From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 Got: "the pkcs #12 operation failed for unknown reasons" when I tried to import my PK12 cert into Mozilla. Supplied correct store and cert protect password. Managed to import the same cert into Internet Explorer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Certificates -> Manage Certificates -> Import -> "PICKED a PK12 file on my local drive" 2. Entered changeit as password for my secure store 3. Entered password used to encrypt this cert file 4. Received an error (alert) "the pkcs #12 operation failed for unknown reasons" 5. This sucks! Actual Results: The cert was not imported. Expected Results: Cert should have been installed and shown in "Your certificates" tab.

Probably a dupe of bug 139196
According to Entrust, "Entrust Entelligence™ E-mail Plug-in provides security for internal and external e-mail communications when used with e-mail applications such as Microsoft® Exchange™, Microsoft® Outlook™, and Lotus® Notes™." It's possible that the certificate is designed not to work with Mozilla.
It's possible that the cert contains a critical extension that we do not recognize. I'll ask my contacts at Entrust. Kai have you looked at handling more errors in the pkcs#12 import code?

NSS has a large list of potential error messages, I don't know which error messages should have more detailed messages. Right now this message is shown for any failure within NSS.
Setting to new.
