I need help understanding the previous paragraph. I understand the part about how you viewed the digital sig in firefox. When you viewed the certificate did you export it to a file. or when presented the link to the file did you right click and save the document, or did you click on it and import the signature into firefox? A digital signature is simply a file. It has nothing to do with firefox, you only used firefox, or konkorer, or (read any other browser) to obtain it. My suggestion. The last sentence of paragraph 3 (link you provided). Backup the certificate to a file. At this point forget about firefox. Sign the document with this file, not firefox.. Let us know if this helps.
