Ask HN: How do I install the Root CA "Positive SSL CA 2"?

1 points by fexl 12y ago ↗ HN

I deleted some Root CAs from Firefox. Now I can't connect to https://news.ycombinator.com in Firefox. (I'm using Chromium now as a workaround.)

When I look at the certificate details for https://news.ycombinator.com, I see that it was signed by a CA named "Positive SSL CA 2".

My question is, how can I find the that root certificate so I can import it back into Firefox?

By the way, I looked in the list of trusted root CAs in Chromium, and I didn't see anything called "Positive SSL CA 2" there. If I had seen it, I could have just exported it from Chromium and imported to Firefox.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I did Export some certs from Chromium and Import them into Firefox, but it wasn't working. However, when I restarted Firefox, it worked.
