Mozilla Certificate Authorities Missing
After installing SuSE 8.1, I have discovered that Mozilla doesn't have
any certificate authorities defined. This makes it fun to use a secure
connection as I have to manually accept the certificates presented.
I have tried reinstalling, I have used the packages from
usr-local-bin.org and the SuSE ftp site and all of them exhibit the same
behavior.
I have also removed the mozilla packages, the /opt/mozilla and
~/.mozilla directories and then reinstalled and ran SuSEconfig.
This wasn't a problem with SuSE 8.0 and I can't determine what didn't
get installed or configured.

I've experienced the same problem, but it was not 8.1 related. I've had this problem both on 7.3. and 8.1.

This is when the problem started for me: I installed galeon from usr-local-bin.org
I have also removed the mozilla packages, the /opt/mozilla and ~/.mozilla directories and then reinstalled and ran SuSEconfig.
Certificates are stored in the file cert7.db. File should be located in ~/.mozilla/<username>/<some random name>/cert7.db for mozilla and ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/cert7.db for galeon

I didn't investigate this in depth, I just copied cert7.db and everything is fine again. Regards, -Kastus

I solved my issue by copying a good cert7.db from a Solaris box running
Mozilla at my work.
However, I still can't figure out why the cert7.db isn't getting created
in the first place. Running pin cert7.db shows no results so I'm trying
to figure out how the file is supposed to be created in the first place.

please move libnssckbi.so from /opt/mozilla/lib to /opt/mozilla and the CA certificates will be there. Sorry for the mistake. CU, Wolfgang Rosenauer

Wolfgang,
Thank you for the solution to the problem.
What happened to me is that in order to ensure a clean installation of
Mozilla, I saved the bookmarks.html file and removed the ~/.mozilla
directory. Since the above library wasn't were it was supposed to be,
the cert7.db file wasn't created.
When I moved the library, and again removed the .mozilla directory, the
database was created.
