Question where are you getting the cert you are attempting to add to OO? Is it coming from a file or are you assuming it will be picked up from the firefox. you need to inport it from a file.. or am I missing something here? BTW it works here using Kubuntu 6.10 and OO 2.0.2.. you are slightly higher on maintenance on OO but I don't think that will make a difference unless there was some regression..
