I deleted by mistake my certificates. Now, I get the error messages trying to connect to gMail, eBay and my bank accounts, etc.

I recently did some "housekeeping" on my computer and for reasons known only to nini-gods, I delected all my security certificates. Now, when I try to log in to gmail, ebay, my bank accounts or any https:// site, I get a warning message "this connection is Untrusted." I click on the links provided to overcome the safety message, but whenever I return to the site I have to jump through all the hoops again. I see a small box that can be clicked to confirm security exception, but the little box that must be clicked to "make the permanent exception" is always grayed out. I know I'm on the right sites - have been using the links on the personal bar for years without problems. It started right after I deleted the certificates.

I've tried everything. Firefox RELOADED (use 3.6.4) deleted and reloaded the bookmarks, follow the instructions when I get the error message. Nothing works. As soon as I close the browser, and then go back online, I'm back to error messages.

Can anyone help?

COR - el: thanks a lot for this solution. Everything works fine now.

However, I had a problem with deleting the files. I dragged to the trash, and then tried to access the sites in question and received the same message. I restarted the computer and when I checked the files I was dragged to the trash were right where they were before. The only file that are been trashed was the .txt file.

So I renamed them as you suggested and now everything works fine.

Thank you again once - I tried to understand by using the troubleshooting Firefox site, but your explanation was simple and easy to follow.
