Installing DoD certs into Firefox on Mac

macos

Symptoms

Firefox on Mac will not present a CAC cert because the DoD certs are not in Firefox's own NSS store.

Likely cause

Firefox keeps its own cert DB separate from the system keychain.

Fix

Semi-automated: 1. Download AllCerts.zip from militarycac.com and unzip it. 2. Select all certs in the folder. 3. Control-click > Open With > Other > set Enable to All Applications > pick Firefox. 4. Firefox opens a tab per cert; tick all three trust boxes on each. Manual: 1. Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates > View Certificates > Authorities > Import. 2. Add each cert in turn. After installing all certs: Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content > Clear Now; quit and reopen Firefox.
