Add a section about importing TLS certificates into the local profile.


The `certutil` utility is provided by the `nss-tools` package.

**Note:** in Sailfish OS releases prior to version 4.x, the Browser profile was stored in ` -d ${HOME}/.mozilla/mozembed/`

Is there reason to make these now first items in the page? Could think for browser development the logging and building type of things would still be more important.

I see what you mean. This is more a user guide vs. development documentation.
Would you be open to reorganize the Browser-related pages into e.g.

  • Browser
    • Usage and Configuration
    • Performance Testing
    • Building
    • Debugging

So it is clearer what the pages are for?

Well at the moment, or even with these changes, the content here is hardly a user guide. If we wanted such for Browser, think that should go then somewhere around these https://docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Help_Articles/ - though these certificate things could be too low level there. Generally user guide should rather document what's available on the UI.

Fwiw, elsewhere this page is now referred as "browser development page" - https://docs.sailfishos.org/Reference/Core_Areas_and_APIs/Browser/

Is the motivation for adding these texts as app user (not developer) working around not having a direct UI for it?
