using openssl to create pkcs12 to import to mozilla?

[nospam]

I'm using linux, and failing to create key pairs for mozilla. The 
problem is that I have yet to figure out the right way to use the 
openssl tools for creating a key pair in the pkcs12 that mozilla will 
import. I need to create a key pair, and send a public key to be signed 
by a private web site in order to access the site. Do I start with the 
creation of an rsa key pair like I would with apache, and then create a 
request to sign from that? Or do I somehow convert it to pkcs12 after 
the rsa pair? Or do I start directly with a pkcs12 and send the public 
key to be signed? Every variation I've tried from the man pages and docs 
I end up with a 0-byte file. Is it even possible for an individual to 
use openssl to create a personal key pair that mozilla can import?
