Certificate File cert8.db for Firefox Is Deleted

Q

What should I do, I deleted cert8.db for Firefox by a mistake on my computer?

You don't need to do anything.

If you start Firefox again, it will create a new copy of the certificate file, cert8.db, by itself!

In fact, it is recommended that you delete the cert8.db file to resolve certificate file corruption problem.

On Windows 7, your certificate file is located at:

C:\Users\fyicenter\AppData]Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  \xxxxxx.default\cert8.db
